$23,213

Medicare paid this office $23,213 for 60 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

60 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Women 43% · Also on Medicaid 67% · Health risk score 2.31. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 1.69.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 62% · Coronary heart disease 47% · Chronic kidney disease 33% · Heart failure 32% · COPD 25% · Depression 20% · Atrial fibrillation 18%.

The office billed $49,237, Medicare allowed $30,118 and paid $23,213; for 183 services of 28 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.

$1,539 in 2023

Medicaid paid $1,539 for 46 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 15 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.

$5,149

Pharmacies billed $5,149 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 20% of their Part D prescriptions (13 of 65) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 34%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.

59 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $5,149 in drug cost · 18 antibiotic prescriptions to 16 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.

$885 in 2022

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
