$2,443,414

Medicare paid this office $2,443,414 for 973 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

973 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 79 · Under 65 2% · 85 and older 26% · Women 59% · Also on Medicaid 17% · Health risk score 1.27. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 1.16.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 71% · Diabetes 27% · Chronic kidney disease 23% · Coronary heart disease 22% · Atrial fibrillation 19% · Depression 16% · Cancer 15% · Heart failure 13% · COPD 8% · Stroke 8% · Dementia 6%.

The office billed $14,969,185, Medicare allowed $3,112,636 and paid $2,443,414; for 25,214 services of 43 kinds; $1,987,543 of it was for drugs given in the office and $455,871 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.

$180,969 in 2024

Medicaid paid $180,969 for 908 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 34 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.

$25,919

Pharmacies billed $25,919 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 235) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 0%.

127 generic and 108 brand-name prescriptions · $25,919 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.

$75 in 2023

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

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
