These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$28,180

Medicare paid this office $28,180 for 58 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

58 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Women 45% · Also on Medicaid 43% · Health risk score 2.31. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical neurology clinician is at 1.61.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Stroke 66% · Chronic kidney disease 53% · Heart failure 50% · Atrial fibrillation 50% · Coronary heart disease 43% · Diabetes 41% · Dementia 36% · Depression 34% · COPD 24%.

The office billed $269,316, Medicare allowed $35,344 and paid $28,180; for 176 services of 4 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.

$1,711 in 2024

Medicaid paid $1,711 for 38 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 14 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.

$43 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.
