Who their Medicare patients are
101 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 70 · Women 23% · Also on Medicaid 11% · Health risk score 1.61. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical thoracic surgery clinician is at 1.74.
Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 74% · Heart failure 64% · Diabetes 62% · Chronic kidney disease 42% · Atrial fibrillation 42% · COPD 30% · Depression 22% · Cancer 14% · Dementia 14% · Stroke 11%.
The office billed $821,185, Medicare allowed $144,798 and paid $114,765; for 214 services of 41 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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$4,029
Pharmacies billed $4,029 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 93) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical thoracic surgery clinician is at 2%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.
88 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $4,029 in drug cost.
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.
