$12,249

Medicare paid this office $12,249 for 92 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

92 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Under 65 21% · 85 and older 13% · Women 48% · Also on Medicaid 51% · Health risk score 1.79. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical dermatology clinician is at 1.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 63% · Depression 34% · Diabetes 29% · Chronic kidney disease 23% · Heart failure 22% · Dementia 21% · Coronary heart disease 20% · COPD 20% · Atrial fibrillation 17% · Stroke 14% · Cancer 12%.

The office billed $95,539, Medicare allowed $18,248 and paid $12,249; for 218 services of 27 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.

$217,318 in 2024

Medicaid paid $217,318 for 1,804 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 83 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.

$726,752

Pharmacies billed $726,752 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 628) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical dermatology clinician is at 0%.

520 generic and 108 brand-name prescriptions · $726,752 in drug cost · 13 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.

$99 in 2025

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.
