$11,992

Medicare paid this office $11,992 for 129 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

129 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Women 52% · Also on Medicaid 31% · Health risk score 1.84. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology-oncology clinician is at 2.04.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 65% · Cancer 60% · Diabetes 32% · Coronary heart disease 26% · COPD 26% · Chronic kidney disease 22% · Atrial fibrillation 20% · Heart failure 17% · Depression 11% · Stroke 10%.

The office billed $43,545, Medicare allowed $15,120 and paid $11,992; for 153 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.

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.

$4,575 in 2024

Medicaid paid $4,575 for 12 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.

$284,739

Pharmacies billed $284,739 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 84) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology-oncology clinician is at 5%.

67 generic and 17 brand-name prescriptions · $284,739 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.

$366 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.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
