$261,754

Medicare paid this office $261,754 for 380 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

380 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 80 · Under 65 4% · 85 and older 37% · Women 56% · Also on Medicaid 30% · Health risk score 2.41. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical critical care (intensivists) clinician is at 2.58.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Atrial fibrillation 50% · Heart failure 49% · Diabetes 48% · Coronary heart disease 48% · Chronic kidney disease 46% · Dementia 40% · Depression 36% · COPD 27% · Cancer 26% · Stroke 26%.

The office billed $908,672, Medicare allowed $330,374 and paid $261,754; for 2,293 services of 23 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.

$3,893 in 2023

Medicaid paid $3,893 for 166 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 29 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.

$84,197

Pharmacies billed $84,197 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (21 of 884) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical critical care (intensivists) clinician is at 0%.

677 generic and 207 brand-name prescriptions · $84,197 in drug cost · 23 antibiotic prescriptions to 13 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.

$980 in 2024

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
