$5,405

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

Who their Medicare patients are

54 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Women 44% · Health risk score 1.42. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical anesthesiology clinician is at 1.54.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Depression 41% · Coronary heart disease 39% · Atrial fibrillation 35% · Diabetes 28% · Heart failure 28%.

The office billed $93,007, Medicare allowed $7,019 and paid $5,405; for 59 services of 15 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.

$21 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.
