Original Medicare doctor bills

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 40% · Coronary heart disease 38% · Heart failure 28% · Depression 28%.

The office billed $24,962, Medicare allowed $4,627 and paid $3,386; for 50 services of 6 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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$668

Pharmacies billed $668 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 33% of their Part D prescriptions (16 of 48) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to judge: with under about 50 a year, a handful of patients can swing this share.

48 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $668 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.
