$135,751

Medicare paid this office $135,751 for 134 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

134 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 17% · Women 34% · Also on Medicaid 31% · Health risk score 1.91. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical thoracic surgery clinician is at 1.74.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 57% · Heart failure 51% · Atrial fibrillation 46% · Chronic kidney disease 42% · Diabetes 40% · Depression 30% · COPD 25% · Cancer 19% · Stroke 19% · Dementia 10%.

The office billed $1,300,665, Medicare allowed $170,575 and paid $135,751; for 235 services of 40 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.

$64,793

Pharmacies billed $64,793 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 131) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical thoracic surgery clinician is at 2%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.

107 generic and 24 brand-name prescriptions · $64,793 in drug cost · 30 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.

$88 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.
