$10,150

Medicare paid this office $10,150 for 81 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

81 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 70 · Under 65 21% · 85 and older 14% · Women 51% · Also on Medicaid 65% · Health risk score 2.92. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical family practice clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 59% · Diabetes 53% · Heart failure 46% · Coronary heart disease 37% · Depression 36% · COPD 33% · Atrial fibrillation 23% · Stroke 15% · Dementia 14%.

The office billed $67,243, Medicare allowed $12,731 and paid $10,150; for 84 services of 9 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.

$127,481 in 2024

Medicaid paid $127,481 for 2,316 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 61 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.

$33,700

Pharmacies billed $33,700 in 2024.

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

121 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $33,700 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.
