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

$38,343

Medicare paid this office $38,343 for 181 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

181 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 68 · Under 65 27% · Women 74% · Also on Medicaid 23% · Health risk score 1.18. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 1.61.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 55% · Depression 39% · Diabetes 19% · Coronary heart disease 17% · Chronic kidney disease 14% · Cancer 13% · Atrial fibrillation 12% · Stroke 12% · Heart failure 9% · COPD 9%.

The office billed $219,632, Medicare allowed $51,025 and paid $38,343; for 327 services of 7 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.

$357 in 2021

Medicaid paid $357 for 12 billed services this clinician did in 2021, up to 12 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.

$207,018

Pharmacies billed $207,018 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (45 of 911) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical neurology clinician is at 0%. Long-acting opioids: 44% of their opioid prescriptions.

704 generic and 207 brand-name prescriptions · $207,018 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.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

$375 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.
