$15,348

Medicare paid this office $15,348 for 109 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

109 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Women 60% · Also on Medicaid 28% · Health risk score 1.82. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 2.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 39% · Depression 35% · Diabetes 31% · Chronic kidney disease 28% · Atrial fibrillation 28% · Heart failure 26% · Cancer 22% · COPD 22% · Dementia 14% · Stroke 14%.

The office billed $89,782, Medicare allowed $19,661 and paid $15,348; for 122 services of 18 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.

$4,143 in 2024

Medicaid paid $4,143 for 32 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 19 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.

$57

Pharmacies billed $57 in 2024.

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

12 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $57 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.

$6,014 in 2019

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
