$56,872

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

The office billed $551,696, Medicare allowed $72,844 and paid $56,872; for 985 services of 17 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.

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.

$947 in 2022

Medicaid paid $947 for 39 billed services this clinician did in 2022, up to 15 people in a month for one service.

Medicaid and CHIP claims where this clinician did the service, fee-for-service and managed care together. Any month with fewer than 11 patients is hidden, so small Medicaid practices undercount.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
