$272,620

Medicare paid this office $272,620 for 751 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

751 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 78 · Under 65 4% · 85 and older 22% · Women 50% · Also on Medicaid 17% · Health risk score 1.63. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical cardiology clinician is at 1.71.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 47% · Diabetes 40% · Chronic kidney disease 38% · Heart failure 34% · Atrial fibrillation 32% · Depression 23% · Cancer 19% · COPD 19% · Stroke 15% · Dementia 12%.

The office billed $769,595, Medicare allowed $355,338 and paid $272,620; for 3,046 services of 82 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.

$444 in 2024

Medicaid paid $444 for 71 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 31 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.

$682,008

Pharmacies billed $682,008 in 2024.

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

2,450 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $682,008 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.

$1,476 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.
