These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$208,201

Medicare paid this office $208,201 for 2,274 people.

This is what Medicare paid the clinician — not Medicare Advantage, and not the pharmacy.

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

2,274 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 4% · 85 and older 17% · Women 45% · Also on Medicaid 12% · Health risk score 1.39. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical dermatology clinician is at 1.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 67% · Coronary heart disease 26% · Chronic kidney disease 24% · Diabetes 21% · Cancer 20% · Atrial fibrillation 20% · Heart failure 15% · Depression 15% · COPD 10% · Stroke 8% · Dementia 6%.

The office billed $2,515,593, Medicare allowed $274,498 and paid $208,201; for 6,431 services of 37 kinds.

Original Medicare patients only. A risk score of 1.0 is the average Medicare patient; higher means sicker. Any count under 11 is hidden.

Year by year

Original Medicare only. A service billed for fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden, so the lines can add up to less than the year's total.

$31,725 in 2024

Medicaid paid $31,725 for 880 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 88 people in a month for one service.

Medicaid and CHIP claims where this clinician did the service, fee-for-service and managed care together. Any month with fewer than 11 patients is hidden, so small Medicaid practices undercount.

$164,586

Pharmacies billed $164,586 in 2024.

This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 367) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical dermatology clinician is at 0%.

334 generic and 33 brand-name prescriptions · $164,586 in drug cost · 16 antibiotic prescriptions.

Part D prescriptions only. The opioid rate is opioid prescriptions as a share of all this clinician's Part D prescriptions; surgeons and pain specialists run higher than others, so it is shown against the same specialty.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

$31 in 2023

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
