$73,260

Medicare paid this office $73,260 for 148 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

148 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 12% · 85 and older 17% · Women 68% · Also on Medicaid 37% · Health risk score 1.99. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 1.69.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Cancer 43% · Diabetes 36% · Coronary heart disease 35% · Atrial fibrillation 34% · Depression 34% · Heart failure 32% · Chronic kidney disease 32% · COPD 16% · Stroke 12% · Dementia 11%.

The office billed $254,381, Medicare allowed $93,088 and paid $73,260; for 400 services of 54 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.

$1,405 in 2022

Medicaid paid $1,405 for 14 billed services this clinician did in 2022, up to 14 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.

$425

Pharmacies billed $425 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 63% of their Part D prescriptions (35 of 56) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 34%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.

55 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $425 in drug cost · 17 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.

$149 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
