$152,935

Medicare paid this office $152,935 for 437 people. Most of that is long return visits and Botox.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

437 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 4% · 85 and older 19% · Women 61% · Also on Medicaid 16% · Health risk score 1.82. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology-oncology clinician is at 2.04.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Cancer 41% · Coronary heart disease 33% · Diabetes 32% · Chronic kidney disease 32% · Atrial fibrillation 22% · Heart failure 19% · Depression 19% · COPD 15% · Stroke 11% · Dementia 8%.

The office billed $491,640, Medicare allowed $205,601 and paid $152,935; for 1,864 services of 7 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.

$972 in 2024

Medicaid paid $972 for 27 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 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.

$876,287

Pharmacies billed $876,287 in 2024.

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

263 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $876,287 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.

$224 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.
