$87,565

Medicare paid this office $87,565 for 423 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

423 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 5% · 85 and older 9% · Women 64% · Also on Medicaid 5% · Health risk score 1.03. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 33% · Coronary heart disease 32% · Chronic kidney disease 23% · Depression 23% · COPD 18% · Cancer 14% · Heart failure 13% · Atrial fibrillation 13% · Stroke 7% · Dementia 4%.

The office billed $599,132, Medicare allowed $114,959 and paid $87,565; for 1,271 services of 60 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.

$1,386 in 2024

Medicaid paid $1,386 for 45 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 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.

$84

Pharmacies billed $84 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 63% of their Part D prescriptions (12 of 19) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to compare fairly with other clinicians.

19 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $84 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.

$106 in 2025

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.
