$6,028

Medicare paid this office $6,028 for 35 people.

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

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

35 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 70 · Women 40% · Health risk score 1.34. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 49%.

The office billed $21,350, Medicare allowed $9,209 and paid $6,028; for 243 services of 9 kinds; $122 of it was for drugs given in the office and $5,906 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.

$247 in 2024

Medicaid paid $247 for 49 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 17 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.

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

Opioids were 0% of their 11 Part D prescriptions in 2022. Too few prescriptions to judge: with under about 50 a year, a handful of patients can swing this share.

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

$21 in 2021

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

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

7 measures · 2023

Medicare asked this office to report how often certain checkups happened in 2023. This is not a grade for the doctor. A specialist’s patients may not need every screening.
