$55,268

Medicare paid this office $55,268 for 323 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

323 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 14% · 85 and older 15% · Women 57% · Also on Medicaid 31% · Health risk score 2.04. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical podiatry clinician is at 1.55.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 52% · Chronic kidney disease 35% · Coronary heart disease 21% · Depression 21% · Heart failure 20% · Atrial fibrillation 17% · COPD 16% · Cancer 14% · Stroke 11% · Dementia 9%.

The office billed $231,063, Medicare allowed $75,645 and paid $55,268; for 967 services of 38 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.

$1,099 in 2023

Medicaid paid $1,099 for 14 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 14 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.

$12,690

Pharmacies billed $12,690 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 11% of their Part D prescriptions (74 of 650) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical podiatry clinician is at 5%.

632 generic and 18 brand-name prescriptions · $12,690 in drug cost · 116 antibiotic prescriptions to 103 people.

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.

$299 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
