$5,825

Medicare paid this office $5,825 for 177 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

177 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Women 55% · Also on Medicaid 23% · Health risk score 1.70. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical cardiology clinician is at 1.71.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 51% · Atrial fibrillation 41% · Chronic kidney disease 39% · Heart failure 38% · Diabetes 33% · Cancer 21% · Depression 18% · COPD 15% · Stroke 15% · Dementia 14%.

The office billed $36,491, Medicare allowed $7,337 and paid $5,825; for 205 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.

$1,063 in 2024

Medicaid paid $1,063 for 79 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 73 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.

$64,289

Pharmacies billed $64,289 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 241) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical cardiology clinician is at 0%.

185 generic and 56 brand-name prescriptions · $64,289 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.

$45 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.
