$36,689

Medicare paid this office $36,689 for 100 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

100 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Women 45% · Health risk score 0.96. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 1.69.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 68% · Cancer 25% · Coronary heart disease 22% · Diabetes 17% · Chronic kidney disease 17% · Atrial fibrillation 17% · Depression 13%.

The office billed $165,154, Medicare allowed $48,060 and paid $36,689; for 260 services of 40 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.

$742

Pharmacies billed $742 in 2024.

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

64 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $742 in drug cost · 15 antibiotic prescriptions to 12 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.

$5,271 in 2025

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
