$41,986

Medicare paid this office $41,986 for 115 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

115 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Women 42% · Also on Medicaid 37% · Health risk score 2.57. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical hospitalist clinician is at 2.49.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 50% · Coronary heart disease 39% · Diabetes 37% · Atrial fibrillation 35% · Depression 32% · Heart failure 28% · Cancer 25% · COPD 25% · Stroke 24% · Dementia 18%.

The office billed $212,266, Medicare allowed $53,533 and paid $41,986; for 484 services of 7 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.

$2,267 in 2024

Medicaid paid $2,267 for 29 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 12 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.

$9,455

Pharmacies billed $9,455 in 2024.

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

100 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $9,455 in drug cost · 23 antibiotic prescriptions to 17 people.

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.

$123 in 2025

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
