Who their Medicare patients are
28 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 62 · Women 39% · Health risk score 0.96. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurosurgery clinician is at 1.46.
Conditions among them: Depression 46% · High blood pressure 39%.
The office billed $282,698, Medicare allowed $9,684 and paid $7,532; for 48 services of 10 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.
Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$186
Pharmacies billed $186 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 65% of their Part D prescriptions (11 of 17) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to judge: with under about 50 a year, a handful of patients can swing this share.
17 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $186 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.
