$45,614

Medicare paid this office $45,614 for 215 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

215 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 9% · 85 and older 29% · Women 48% · Also on Medicaid 64% · Health risk score 3.45. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 63% · Heart failure 57% · Diabetes 55% · Coronary heart disease 50% · Atrial fibrillation 38% · Depression 36% · COPD 32% · Dementia 29% · Stroke 28% · Cancer 19%.

The office billed $186,844, Medicare allowed $60,321 and paid $45,614; for 453 services of 11 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.

$435 in 2024

Medicaid paid $435 for 29 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 12 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.

$20,388

Pharmacies billed $20,388 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 11% of their Part D prescriptions (16 of 146) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

108 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $20,388 in drug cost · 22 antibiotic prescriptions to 16 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.

$3,369 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.
