$1,470,870

Medicare paid this office $1,470,870 for 507 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

507 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Under 65 11% · 85 and older 11% · Women 70% · Also on Medicaid 85% · Health risk score 1.77. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology-oncology clinician is at 2.04.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 55% · Cancer 55% · Coronary heart disease 39% · Depression 32% · Chronic kidney disease 30% · Heart failure 24% · COPD 20% · Dementia 16% · Atrial fibrillation 15% · Stroke 11%.

The office billed $5,479,792, Medicare allowed $1,869,538 and paid $1,470,870; for 73,426 services of 87 kinds; $1,237,083 of it was for drugs given in the office and $233,787 for care.

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.

$416,895 in 2024

Medicaid paid $416,895 for 13,697 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 236 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.

$6,025,498

Pharmacies billed $6,025,498 in 2024.

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

1,020 generic and 719 brand-name prescriptions · $6,025,498 in drug cost · 26 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.

$6,508 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.
