$16,816

Medicare paid this office $16,816 for 70 people.

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

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

70 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Women 47% · Also on Medicaid 34% · Health risk score 2.48. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

The office billed $53,828, Medicare allowed $21,411 and paid $16,816; for 148 services of 14 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.

$2,556 in 2024

Medicaid paid $2,556 for 42 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.

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

Opioids were 0% of their 139 Part D prescriptions in 2016.

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

$1,060 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.
