$1,650,026

Medicare paid this office $1,650,026 for 434 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

434 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 4% · 85 and older 10% · Women 84% · Also on Medicaid 11% · Health risk score 1.27. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical rheumatology clinician is at 1.38.

The office billed $3,296,954, Medicare allowed $2,095,838 and paid $1,650,026; for 109,839 services of 28 kinds; $1,489,205 of it was for drugs given in the office and $160,821 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.

$2,568,149

Pharmacies billed $2,568,149 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (63 of 1,819) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical rheumatology clinician is at 3%.

1,366 generic and 442 brand-name prescriptions · $2,568,149 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.

$1,391 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.
