$261,738

Medicare paid this office $261,738 for 543 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

543 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 79 · Under 65 4% · 85 and older 31% · Women 47% · Also on Medicaid 17% · Health risk score 2.39. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology clinician is at 2.53.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Heart failure 75% · Coronary heart disease 62% · Atrial fibrillation 61% · Chronic kidney disease 55% · Diabetes 45% · COPD 26% · Depression 25% · Cancer 22% · Dementia 18% · Stroke 15%.

The office billed $1,135,979, Medicare allowed $341,334 and paid $261,738; for 2,063 services of 36 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.

$14,564 in 2024

Medicaid paid $14,564 for 253 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 18 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.

$2,226,067

Pharmacies billed $2,226,067 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 3,964) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology clinician is at 0%.

2,792 generic and 1,172 brand-name prescriptions · $2,226,067 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.

$37 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.
