$29,069

Medicare paid this office $29,069 for 55 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

55 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Women 55% · Also on Medicaid 29% · Health risk score 1.70. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 1.19.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 36% · Chronic kidney disease 36% · Heart failure 27% · Atrial fibrillation 24% · COPD 22% · Cancer 20%.

The office billed $139,816, Medicare allowed $37,278 and paid $29,069; for 144 services of 33 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.

$0 in 2024

Medicaid paid $0 for 43 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 15 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.

$1,854

Pharmacies billed $1,854 in 2024.

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

87 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,854 in drug cost · 60 antibiotic prescriptions to 47 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.

$144 in 2023

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
