$202,633

Medicare paid this office $202,633 for 793 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

793 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 10% · 85 and older 27% · Women 49% · Also on Medicaid 28% · Health risk score 4.09. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nephrology clinician is at 4.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 75% · Heart failure 65% · Diabetes 62% · Coronary heart disease 60% · Atrial fibrillation 47% · Depression 38% · COPD 32% · Stroke 27% · Dementia 26% · Cancer 22%.

The office billed $548,836, Medicare allowed $263,413 and paid $202,633; for 2,460 services of 17 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.

$11,713 in 2024

Medicaid paid $11,713 for 420 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 30 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.

$172,457

Pharmacies billed $172,457 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 583) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical nephrology clinician is at 0%.

439 generic and 144 brand-name prescriptions · $172,457 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.

$816 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.
