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

$56,337

Medicare paid this office $56,337 for 156 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

156 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 17% · Women 77% · Also on Medicaid 30% · Health risk score 1.03. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 49% · Diabetes 35% · Coronary heart disease 17% · COPD 15% · Atrial fibrillation 15% · Cancer 13% · Depression 13% · Heart failure 8%.

The office billed $92,330, Medicare allowed $80,462 and paid $56,337; for 656 services of 24 kinds; $4,456 of it was for drugs given in the office and $51,880 for care.

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.

$0 in 2022

Medicaid paid $0 for 37 billed services this clinician did in 2022, up to 22 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.

$634,560

Pharmacies billed $634,560 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (140 of 7,964) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

7,118 generic and 803 brand-name prescriptions · $634,560 in drug cost · 222 antibiotic prescriptions to 134 people · 36 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
