$452,678

Medicare paid this office $452,678 for 827 people.

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

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

827 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Under 65 18% · 85 and older 16% · Women 53% · Also on Medicaid 56% · Health risk score 4.38. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nephrology clinician is at 4.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 75% · Diabetes 72% · Heart failure 54% · Coronary heart disease 50% · Atrial fibrillation 33% · Depression 26% · COPD 22% · Dementia 14% · Cancer 12% · Stroke 12%.

The office billed $1,810,935, Medicare allowed $577,437 and paid $452,678; for 29,702 services of 78 kinds; $62,804 of it was for drugs given in the office and $389,874 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.

$41,477 in 2024

Medicaid paid $41,477 for 2,094 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 48 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.

$650,535

Pharmacies billed $650,535 in 2024.

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

2,742 generic and 586 brand-name prescriptions · $650,535 in drug cost · 28 antibiotic prescriptions to 21 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.
