$227,556

Medicare paid this office $227,556 for 340 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

340 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 5% · 85 and older 21% · Women 51% · Also on Medicaid 18% · Health risk score 1.58. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical neurosurgery clinician is at 1.46.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Depression 35% · Coronary heart disease 34% · Stroke 31% · Chronic kidney disease 25% · Atrial fibrillation 25% · Diabetes 23% · Heart failure 21% · Cancer 21% · Dementia 20% · COPD 17%.

The office billed $1,657,656, Medicare allowed $286,178 and paid $227,556; for 922 services of 93 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.

$1,637 in 2022

Medicaid paid $1,637 for 28 billed services this clinician did in 2022, up to 13 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.

$2,217

Pharmacies billed $2,217 in 2024.

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

53 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $2,217 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.

$7,635 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.
