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

102 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Women 58% · Also on Medicaid 13% · Health risk score 1.58. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 73% · Depression 34% · Diabetes 23% · Coronary heart disease 22% · COPD 21% · Chronic kidney disease 20% · Cancer 19% · Atrial fibrillation 17% · Heart failure 12%.

The office billed $1,772,561, Medicare allowed $261,704 and paid $208,556; for 510 services of 49 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.

$198

Pharmacies billed $198 in 2024.

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

14 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $198 in drug cost.

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.

$407,319 in 2025
