We check Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, plus California above. A state that is not in this list has not been checked, which is not the same as clear.

What this clinician told their state board, medical school and everything before it. Only some states publish this, so nothing here means the state does not say, not that there was no training or certification.

$186,768

Medicare paid this office $186,768 for 333 people.

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

333 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 14% · Women 53% · Also on Medicaid 22% · Health risk score 1.10. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 1.19.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 68% · Diabetes 29% · Coronary heart disease 22% · Chronic kidney disease 19% · Depression 19% · Atrial fibrillation 14% · COPD 13% · Cancer 11% · Heart failure 10% · Stroke 8% · Dementia 4%.

The office billed $947,600, Medicare allowed $244,959 and paid $186,768; for 1,748 services of 68 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.

$9,038 in 2024

Medicaid paid $9,038 for 635 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 52 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.

$12,343

Pharmacies billed $12,343 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 9% of their Part D prescriptions (49 of 571) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 4%.

549 generic and 22 brand-name prescriptions · $12,343 in drug cost · 87 antibiotic prescriptions to 72 people.

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.

$352 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.
