$759,245

Medicare paid this office $759,245 for 1,074 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

1,074 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 10% · 85 and older 12% · Women 55% · Also on Medicaid 42% · Health risk score 2.22. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical vascular surgery clinician is at 2.33.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 57% · Coronary heart disease 47% · Chronic kidney disease 42% · Heart failure 31% · Depression 22% · COPD 20% · Atrial fibrillation 20% · Stroke 14% · Cancer 12% · Dementia 8%.

The office billed $4,469,722, Medicare allowed $966,220 and paid $759,245; for 5,536 services of 66 kinds; $992 of it was for drugs given in the office and $758,253 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.

$183,428 in 2024

Medicaid paid $183,428 for 3,351 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 98 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.

$30,035

Pharmacies billed $30,035 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 23% of their Part D prescriptions (45 of 192) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical vascular surgery clinician is at 11%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.

150 generic and 42 brand-name prescriptions · $30,035 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.

$140 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.

2023

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
