Original Medicare doctor bills

$1,367

Medicare paid this office $1,367 for 14 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

14 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Under 65 0% · 85 and older 0% · Women 100% · Also on Medicaid 0% · Health risk score 0.70. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 1.42.

The office billed $4,034, Medicare allowed $1,678 and paid $1,367; for 22 services of 10 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 by year
20241422710.70$4,034$1,367
20232737700.69$10,060$2,930

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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$3,440

Pharmacies billed $3,440 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 40) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to judge: with under about 50 a year, a handful of patients can swing this share.

37 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $3,440 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.
