$46,551

Medicare paid this office $46,551 for 86 people.

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

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

86 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 79 · Women 54% · Health risk score 0.99. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 60% · Chronic kidney disease 26% · Cancer 20% · Atrial fibrillation 19% · Depression 15% · Coronary heart disease 13%.

The office billed $199,034, Medicare allowed $61,745 and paid $46,551; for 2,160 services of 15 kinds; $19,015 of it was for drugs given in the office and $27,536 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.

$258

Pharmacies billed $258 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 19) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to judge: with under about 50 a year, a handful of patients can swing this share.

19 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $258 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.

$33 in 2021

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
