$19,792

Medicare paid this office $19,792 for 97 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

97 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Under 65 18% · 85 and older 14% · Women 49% · Also on Medicaid 29% · Health risk score 2.52. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology clinician is at 2.35.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 73% · Chronic kidney disease 47% · Diabetes 33% · Atrial fibrillation 33% · Coronary heart disease 32% · Heart failure 29% · Cancer 29% · Depression 23% · Stroke 22% · COPD 16% · Dementia 14%.

The office billed $97,201, Medicare allowed $26,298 and paid $19,792; for 191 services of 15 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.

$4,152 in 2018

Medicaid paid $4,152 for 86 billed services this clinician did in 2018, up to 12 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.

$36,502

Pharmacies billed $36,502 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 587) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology clinician is at 4%.

555 generic and 32 brand-name prescriptions · $36,502 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.

$109 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.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
