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

$77,808

Medicare paid this office $77,808 for 226 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

226 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Under 65 12% · 85 and older 12% · Women 50% · Also on Medicaid 30% · Health risk score 2.62. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical anesthesiology clinician is at 1.54.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 47% · Coronary heart disease 42% · Heart failure 38% · Atrial fibrillation 38% · Diabetes 36% · Depression 32% · Cancer 30% · Dementia 23% · COPD 22% · Stroke 21%.

The office billed $651,736, Medicare allowed $98,260 and paid $77,808; for 423 services of 57 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.

$927 in 2024

Medicaid paid $927 for 38 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 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.

$19,912 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.
