Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

319 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Women 63% · Health risk score 0.87. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 74% · Coronary heart disease 27% · Diabetes 22% · Cancer 16% · Chronic kidney disease 14% · Depression 12% · Heart failure 11% · Atrial fibrillation 11% · COPD 8% · Dementia 6% · Stroke 5%.

The office billed $595,049, Medicare allowed $201,799 and paid $159,480; for 5,060 services of 48 kinds; $942 of it was for drugs given in the office and $158,538 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.

$419,020

Pharmacies billed $419,020 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (139 of 5,391) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

4,761 generic and 602 brand-name prescriptions · $419,020 in drug cost · 252 antibiotic prescriptions to 143 people · 35 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.

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
