$19,910

Medicare paid this office $19,910 for 70 people. Most of that is long return visits and Botox.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

70 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Women 53% · Also on Medicaid 29% · Health risk score 2.47. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical nephrology clinician is at 4.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 75% · Heart failure 41% · Diabetes 39% · Coronary heart disease 37% · Atrial fibrillation 31% · Depression 27% · Cancer 26% · COPD 20%.

The office billed $124,213, Medicare allowed $26,044 and paid $19,910; for 294 services of 9 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.

$2,439 in 2020

Medicaid paid $2,439 for 38 billed services this clinician did in 2020, up to 17 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.

$21,214

Pharmacies billed $21,214 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 102) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical nephrology clinician is at 0%.

83 generic and 19 brand-name prescriptions · $21,214 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
