2 hospitals

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

$199,752

Medicare paid this office $199,752 for 383 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

383 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 6% · 85 and older 12% · Women 66% · Also on Medicaid 20% · Health risk score 1.19. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical pain management clinician is at 1.38.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 74% · Coronary heart disease 29% · Diabetes 27% · Depression 21% · Cancer 20% · Chronic kidney disease 19% · Atrial fibrillation 16% · Heart failure 14% · COPD 10% · Stroke 6% · Dementia 5%.

The office billed $1,559,756, Medicare allowed $259,206 and paid $199,752; for 20,735 services of 40 kinds; $85,311 of it was for drugs given in the office and $114,442 for care.

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.

$3,933 in 2018

Medicaid paid $3,933 for 68 billed services this clinician did in 2018, up to 15 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.

$1,499

Pharmacies billed $1,499 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 44) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to compare fairly with other clinicians.

39 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,499 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.

$860 in 2024

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
