$54,116

Medicare paid this office $54,116 for 122 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

122 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Women 53% · Also on Medicaid 12% · Health risk score 1.43. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurosurgery clinician is at 1.46.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Stroke 48% · Coronary heart disease 34% · Diabetes 30% · Chronic kidney disease 25% · Depression 24% · Atrial fibrillation 21% · COPD 18% · Cancer 16% · Heart failure 14% · Dementia 9%.

The office billed $303,729, Medicare allowed $69,933 and paid $54,116; for 299 services of 45 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.

$365 in 2024

Medicaid paid $365 for 12 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 12 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.

$665 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.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
