$52,280

Medicare paid this office $52,280 for 139 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

139 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 15% · 85 and older 28% · Women 60% · Also on Medicaid 91% · Health risk score 2.65. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical hospitalist clinician is at 2.49.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Dementia 62% · Diabetes 45% · Depression 38% · Chronic kidney disease 31% · Coronary heart disease 28% · COPD 25% · Stroke 23% · Heart failure 22% · Atrial fibrillation 22% · Cancer 11%.

The office billed $254,034, Medicare allowed $71,672 and paid $52,280; for 516 services of 11 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.

$63,029 in 2024

Medicaid paid $63,029 for 469 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 37 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.

$307,719

Pharmacies billed $307,719 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (80 of 6,045) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hospitalist clinician is at 4%.

5,120 generic and 891 brand-name prescriptions · $307,719 in drug cost · 96 antibiotic prescriptions to 21 people · 334 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.
