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

Procedures Medicare counted

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

437 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 10% · Women 68% · Also on Medicaid 26% · Health risk score 1.33. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1.31.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 59% · Depression 24% · Chronic kidney disease 22% · Cancer 18% · Diabetes 17% · Coronary heart disease 17% · Atrial fibrillation 13% · Heart failure 11% · COPD 11% · Dementia 4% · Stroke 4%.

The office billed $484,448, Medicare allowed $74,569 and paid $53,893; for 758 services of 12 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.

$0 in 2018

Medicaid paid $0 for 13 billed services this clinician did in 2018, up to 13 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.

$3,611

Pharmacies billed $3,611 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 31% of their Part D prescriptions (102 of 330) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

325 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $3,611 in drug cost · 11 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.

$26 in 2023

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.
