$215,462

Medicare paid this office $215,462 for 857 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

857 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Under 65 7% · 85 and older 9% · Women 71% · Also on Medicaid 6% · Health risk score 1.24. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 1.13.

The office billed $734,406, Medicare allowed $277,773 and paid $215,462; for 3,840 services of 132 kinds; $17,095 of it was for drugs given in the office and $198,367 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.

$15,552 in 2024

Medicaid paid $15,552 for 218 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 21 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.

$508,495

Pharmacies billed $508,495 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (291 of 5,699) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%. Long-acting opioids: 28% of their opioid prescriptions.

4,952 generic and 728 brand-name prescriptions · $508,495 in drug cost · 97 antibiotic prescriptions to 58 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.
