Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

349 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Women 64% · Also on Medicaid 6% · Health risk score 1.01. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 1.13.

The office billed $721,860, Medicare allowed $201,087 and paid $154,979; for 6,544 services of 58 kinds; $2,274 of it was for drugs given in the office and $152,704 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.

$799

Pharmacies billed $799 in 2024.

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

142 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $799 in drug cost.

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.

$1,455,179 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.
