$64,138

Medicare paid this office $64,138 for 296 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

296 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 11% · 85 and older 25% · Women 56% · Also on Medicaid 46% · Health risk score 2.20. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 47% · Diabetes 43% · Depression 38% · Heart failure 34% · Atrial fibrillation 31% · Coronary heart disease 29% · COPD 24% · Dementia 21% · Stroke 20% · Cancer 19%.

The office billed $243,731, Medicare allowed $83,578 and paid $64,138; for 703 services of 8 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.

$2,692 in 2024

Medicaid paid $2,692 for 65 billed services this clinician did in 2024, 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.

$13,361

Pharmacies billed $13,361 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 8% of their Part D prescriptions (19 of 254) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

222 generic and 32 brand-name prescriptions · $13,361 in drug cost · 76 antibiotic prescriptions to 56 people.

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.
