No disciplinary actions, convictions, malpractice judgments or citations in this record.

What this clinician told their state board, medical school and everything before it. Only some states publish this, so nothing here means the state does not say, not that there was no training or certification.

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

$577,575

Medicare paid this office $577,575 for 240 people. Most of that is long return visits and Botox.

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

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

240 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Under 65 9% · 85 and older 7% · Women 46% · Also on Medicaid 23% · Health risk score 2.95. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology clinician is at 2.35.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 69% · Chronic kidney disease 48% · Heart failure 31% · Coronary heart disease 27% · Diabetes 23% · Atrial fibrillation 21% · Depression 21% · Cancer 16% · COPD 13% · Stroke 9%.

The office billed $4,411,656, Medicare allowed $729,554 and paid $577,575; for 15,480 services of 33 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.

$33,463 in 2024

Medicaid paid $33,463 for 235 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 29 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.

$4,228,051

Pharmacies billed $4,228,051 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (28 of 553) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology clinician is at 4%.

331 generic and 222 brand-name prescriptions · $4,228,051 in drug cost · 48 antibiotic prescriptions to 18 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.

$3,174 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.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
