$139,565

Medicare paid this office $139,565 for 436 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

436 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 4% · 85 and older 10% · Women 63% · Also on Medicaid 29% · Health risk score 1.69. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical radiation oncology clinician is at 1.69.

Conditions among them: Cancer 75% · High blood pressure 71% · Diabetes 23% · Chronic kidney disease 23% · Depression 20% · COPD 18% · Coronary heart disease 17% · Atrial fibrillation 15% · Heart failure 14% · Stroke 11% · Dementia 5%.

The office billed $435,877, Medicare allowed $178,132 and paid $139,565; for 1,807 services of 30 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.

$14,297 in 2024

Medicaid paid $14,297 for 264 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 19 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.

$6,649

Pharmacies billed $6,649 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 153) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical radiation oncology clinician is at 11%.

142 generic and 11 brand-name prescriptions · $6,649 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.

$222 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.
