$56,773

Medicare paid this office $56,773 for 278 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

278 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 78 · Women 64% · Also on Medicaid 0% · Health risk score 0.97. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 1.19.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 69% · Coronary heart disease 26% · Diabetes 18% · Chronic kidney disease 18% · Atrial fibrillation 17% · Cancer 15% · Depression 13% · Heart failure 10% · Stroke 8% · COPD 7% · Dementia 6%.

The office billed $226,404, Medicare allowed $76,772 and paid $56,773; for 724 services of 23 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.

$26,022

Pharmacies billed $26,022 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 265) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 4%.

247 generic and 18 brand-name prescriptions · $26,022 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.

$30 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.

14 measures · 2023

Medicare asked this office to report how often certain checkups happened in 2023. This is not a grade for the doctor. A specialist’s patients may not need every screening.
