$67,483

Medicare paid this office $67,483 for 448 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

448 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 5% · 85 and older 11% · Women 48% · Also on Medicaid 19% · Health risk score 2.16. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical pathology clinician is at 1.55.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 34% · Diabetes 31% · Coronary heart disease 31% · Atrial fibrillation 27% · Heart failure 23% · Cancer 23% · Depression 19% · COPD 14% · Stroke 12% · Dementia 11%.

The office billed $703,849, Medicare allowed $86,287 and paid $67,483; for 1,785 services of 26 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.

$8,848 in 2024

Medicaid paid $8,848 for 331 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 32 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.

$1,528 in 2023

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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
