$2,000,473

Medicare paid this office $2,000,473 for 355 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

355 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 16% · Women 56% · Also on Medicaid 30% · Health risk score 2.02. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 1.42.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 46% · Diabetes 40% · Cancer 39% · Coronary heart disease 29% · Heart failure 22% · Depression 22% · Atrial fibrillation 19% · COPD 17% · Stroke 12% · Dementia 8%.

The office billed $15,103,759, Medicare allowed $2,509,927 and paid $2,000,473; for 155,011 services of 99 kinds; $1,908,546 of it was for drugs given in the office and $91,928 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.

$3,508,664

Pharmacies billed $3,508,664 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 7% of their Part D prescriptions (100 of 1,381) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%. Long-acting opioids: 28% of their opioid prescriptions.

1,033 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $3,508,664 in drug cost · 12 antibiotic prescriptions to 12 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.

$53 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.
