$1,831,459

Medicare paid this office $1,831,459 for 621 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

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

621 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 78 · Under 65 2% · 85 and older 22% · Women 59% · Also on Medicaid 16% · Health risk score 1.29. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 1.16.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 70% · Diabetes 27% · Coronary heart disease 21% · Chronic kidney disease 21% · Cancer 18% · Atrial fibrillation 17% · Depression 16% · Heart failure 12% · COPD 10% · Stroke 8% · Dementia 7%.

The office billed $5,083,530, Medicare allowed $2,304,036 and paid $1,831,459; for 9,681 services of 39 kinds; $1,407,085 of it was for drugs given in the office and $424,374 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.

$61,292 in 2024

Medicaid paid $61,292 for 659 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 51 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.

$12,130

Pharmacies billed $12,130 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 344) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 0%.

229 generic and 115 brand-name prescriptions · $12,130 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.

$26 in 2024

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

7 measures · 2023

Medicare asked this office to report how often certain checkups happened in 2023. This is not a grade for the doctor. A specialist’s patients may not need every screening.

What the office says it does

Boxes the office ticked on its Medicare worksheet for 2023. Nobody checks these.

• Implementation of medication management practice improvements
• Improved the patient portal
• Lets patients read their visit notes
• Uses standard treatment protocols
