These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$42,523

Medicare paid this office $42,523 for 119 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

119 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Women 64% · Also on Medicaid 29% · Health risk score 3.10. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical psychiatry clinician is at 1.35.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 72% · Depression 61% · Cancer 41% · Dementia 34% · Coronary heart disease 33% · Diabetes 29% · Chronic kidney disease 29% · Heart failure 22% · Stroke 20% · COPD 18% · Atrial fibrillation 18%.

The office billed $238,584, Medicare allowed $54,187 and paid $42,523; for 395 services of 16 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.

$983 in 2022

Medicaid paid $983 for 18 billed services this clinician did in 2022, up to 16 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.

$3,592

Pharmacies billed $3,592 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 200) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical psychiatry clinician is at 0%.

198 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $3,592 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.

$274 in 2024

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
