$474,772

Medicare paid this office $474,772 for 974 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

974 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 7% · 85 and older 16% · Women 47% · Also on Medicaid 28% · Health risk score 2.22. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical vascular surgery clinician is at 2.33.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 49% · Coronary heart disease 46% · Diabetes 40% · Heart failure 35% · Atrial fibrillation 29% · COPD 26% · Depression 22% · Cancer 18% · Stroke 16% · Dementia 9%.

The office billed $6,835,112, Medicare allowed $607,350 and paid $474,772; for 3,883 services of 190 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.

$3,030 in 2024

Medicaid paid $3,030 for 55 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 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.

$54,441

Pharmacies billed $54,441 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 144) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical vascular surgery clinician is at 11%.

75 generic and 69 brand-name prescriptions · $54,441 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.

$225,573 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
