Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

176 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Women 55% · Also on Medicaid 9% · Health risk score 1.13. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical plastic and reconstructive surgery clinician is at 1.21.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 68% · Diabetes 23% · Coronary heart disease 22% · Chronic kidney disease 18% · Depression 18% · Cancer 15% · Heart failure 14% · Atrial fibrillation 13% · COPD 10%.

The office billed $79,369, Medicare allowed $33,093 and paid $26,019; for 297 services of 20 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.

$2,501

Pharmacies billed $2,501 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 13% of their Part D prescriptions (23 of 178) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical plastic and reconstructive surgery clinician is at 28%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.

178 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $2,501 in drug cost · 37 antibiotic prescriptions to 34 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.

$141 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.
