$125,101

Medicare paid this office $125,101 for 361 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

361 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 11% · 85 and older 16% · Women 68% · Also on Medicaid 32% · Health risk score 1.69. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 32% · Coronary heart disease 26% · Chronic kidney disease 26% · Atrial fibrillation 25% · Heart failure 24% · Depression 24% · COPD 19% · Cancer 18% · Dementia 13% · Stroke 11%.

The office billed $578,693, Medicare allowed $161,618 and paid $125,101; for 6,226 services of 34 kinds; $51,134 of it was for drugs given in the office and $73,967 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.

$22,864 in 2024

Medicaid paid $22,864 for 153 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 21 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.

$717,124

Pharmacies billed $717,124 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (34 of 952) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

766 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $717,124 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.

$690 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.
