Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

130 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 82 · 85 and older 45% · Women 62% · Also on Medicaid 40% · Health risk score 2.71. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical geriatric medicine clinician is at 1.84.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 50% · Dementia 49% · Depression 47% · Diabetes 41% · Atrial fibrillation 34% · Heart failure 32% · Coronary heart disease 31% · Stroke 24% · Cancer 19% · COPD 19%.

The office billed $267,150, Medicare allowed $60,743 and paid $46,728; for 423 services of 33 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.

$158,955

Pharmacies billed $158,955 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (21 of 1,196) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical geriatric medicine clinician is at 2%.

994 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $158,955 in drug cost · 45 antibiotic prescriptions to 26 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.
