A missing listing does not mean out of network. Directories change, and a listing does not cover every office. Call Dr. Ghanchi’s office at (818) 719-2000 to confirm they take your plan. Ask about the office you use, its medical group, referrals and appointments.

Original Medicare doctor bills

$2,892

Medicare paid this office $2,892 for 11 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

11 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 68 · Health risk score 1.90. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical neurosurgery clinician is at 1.46.

The office billed $13,370, Medicare allowed $3,858 and paid $2,892; for 21 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.

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

$1,255

Pharmacies billed $1,255 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 39% of their Part D prescriptions (38 of 98) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical neurosurgery clinician is at 28%.

97 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,255 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.

Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen17$228$13
Gabapentin12$213$18
Oxycodone-Acetaminophen14$191$14
