$150,522

Medicare paid this office $150,522 for 641 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

641 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 2% · 85 and older 12% · Women 59% · Also on Medicaid 10% · Health risk score 0.93. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1.31.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 64% · Coronary heart disease 23% · Diabetes 20% · Depression 20% · Chronic kidney disease 16% · Cancer 16% · Atrial fibrillation 14% · Heart failure 8% · COPD 7% · Stroke 5% · Dementia 4%.

The office billed $1,266,724, Medicare allowed $201,127 and paid $150,522; for 1,918 services of 54 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.

$23,068

Pharmacies billed $23,068 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 28% of their Part D prescriptions (332 of 1,180) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

1,171 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $23,068 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.

$3,062 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.
