$68,546

Medicare paid this office $68,546 for 335 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

335 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 12% · 85 and older 19% · Women 51% · Also on Medicaid 59% · Health risk score 2.99. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 51% · Chronic kidney disease 49% · Coronary heart disease 45% · Heart failure 44% · Atrial fibrillation 37% · Depression 35% · COPD 29% · Dementia 27% · Cancer 25% · Stroke 21%.

The office billed $371,938, Medicare allowed $87,883 and paid $68,546; for 735 services of 18 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.

$46,804 in 2024

Medicaid paid $46,804 for 538 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 25 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.

$20,061

Pharmacies billed $20,061 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (11 of 241) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

204 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $20,061 in drug cost · 41 antibiotic prescriptions to 26 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.
