$225,623

Medicare paid this office $225,623 for 405 people.

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

405 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 70 · Under 65 26% · 85 and older 11% · Women 51% · Also on Medicaid 45% · Health risk score 5.72. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nephrology clinician is at 4.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 75% · Diabetes 66% · Coronary heart disease 61% · Heart failure 60% · Atrial fibrillation 40% · COPD 30% · Depression 30% · Dementia 22% · Stroke 19% · Cancer 18%.

The office billed $579,800, Medicare allowed $283,540 and paid $225,623; for 2,001 services of 22 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.

$30,419 in 2024

Medicaid paid $30,419 for 1,066 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 31 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.

$638,779

Pharmacies billed $638,779 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (64 of 1,619) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical nephrology clinician is at 0%.

1,201 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $638,779 in drug cost · 14 antibiotic prescriptions to 11 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.
