These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

211 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 10% · 85 and older 9% · Women 55% · Also on Medicaid 23% · Health risk score 1.60. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 1.69.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Cancer 40% · Chronic kidney disease 36% · Depression 28% · Coronary heart disease 27% · Diabetes 25% · Atrial fibrillation 23% · Heart failure 18% · COPD 17% · Dementia 10% · Stroke 7%.

The office billed $580,137, Medicare allowed $109,632 and paid $83,823; for 485 services of 60 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.

$1,588

Pharmacies billed $1,588 in 2024.

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

37 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,588 in drug cost · 16 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.

$37 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.
