$68,489

Medicare paid this office $68,489 for 184 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

184 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Women 100% · Also on Medicaid 16% · Health risk score 1.42. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical gynecological oncology clinician is at 1.53.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 73% · Cancer 53% · Chronic kidney disease 27% · Diabetes 23% · Atrial fibrillation 15% · Depression 15% · Coronary heart disease 14% · COPD 12% · Heart failure 10% · Dementia 7%.

The office billed $505,392, Medicare allowed $90,278 and paid $68,489; for 453 services of 33 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.

$2,545 in 2019

Medicaid paid $2,545 for 57 billed services this clinician did in 2019, up to 16 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.

$2,224

Pharmacies billed $2,224 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 26% of their Part D prescriptions (23 of 87) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical gynecological oncology clinician is at 13%.

84 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $2,224 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.

$26 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.
