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

Who their Medicare patients are

547 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 78 · Women 39% · Also on Medicaid 4% · Health risk score 1.17. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

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.

$1,156,502

Pharmacies billed $1,156,502 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (53 of 7,540) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

6,465 generic and 1,037 brand-name prescriptions · $1,156,502 in drug cost · 122 antibiotic prescriptions to 97 people · 11 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
