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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

428 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 9% · 85 and older 15% · Women 63% · Also on Medicaid 16% · Health risk score 1.21. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical podiatry clinician is at 1.55.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 69% · Diabetes 42% · Chronic kidney disease 28% · Coronary heart disease 19% · Depression 17% · Atrial fibrillation 16% · Cancer 15% · Heart failure 14% · COPD 14% · Dementia 7% · Stroke 7%.

The office billed $416,890, Medicare allowed $125,034 and paid $90,173; for 1,280 services of 63 kinds; $247 of it was for drugs given in the office and $89,926 for care.

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.

$928 in 2024

Medicaid paid $928 for 45 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 15 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.

$3,503

Pharmacies billed $3,503 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 9% of their Part D prescriptions (26 of 299) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical podiatry clinician is at 5%.

294 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $3,503 in drug cost · 39 antibiotic prescriptions to 22 people.

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.

$318 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.
