What this clinician told their state board, medical school and everything before it. Only some states publish this, so nothing here means the state does not say, not that there was no training or certification.

These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$45,074

Medicare paid this office $45,074 for 278 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

278 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 70 · Under 65 14% · 85 and older 4% · Women 53% · Also on Medicaid 22% · Health risk score 2.17. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 45% · Coronary heart disease 40% · Chronic kidney disease 40% · Heart failure 32% · Depression 26% · Atrial fibrillation 23% · Cancer 17% · COPD 10% · Stroke 10% · Dementia 9%.

The office billed $188,795, Medicare allowed $57,463 and paid $45,074; for 608 services of 22 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.

$4,183 in 2021

Medicaid paid $4,183 for 115 billed services this clinician did in 2021, up to 20 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.

$344,776

Pharmacies billed $344,776 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 546) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

457 generic and 89 brand-name prescriptions · $344,776 in drug cost · 89 antibiotic prescriptions to 20 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.

$43,948 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.
