These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$12,723

Medicare paid this office $12,723 for 59 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

59 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 68 · Women 53% · Also on Medicaid 58% · Health risk score 1.58. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical gastroenterology clinician is at 1.42.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 73% · Diabetes 36% · Depression 32% · Chronic kidney disease 25% · Coronary heart disease 20% · Stroke 20% · Cancer 19% · COPD 19%.

The office billed $110,567, Medicare allowed $15,621 and paid $12,723; for 129 services of 24 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.

$174 in 2024

Medicaid paid $174 for 13 billed services this clinician did in 2024, 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.

$200

Pharmacies billed $200 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 12) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to judge: with under about 50 a year, a handful of patients can swing this share.

$200 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.

$25 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.
