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

$131,130

Medicare paid this office $131,130 for 318 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

318 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 4% · 85 and older 9% · Women 50% · Health risk score 0.87. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 30% · Diabetes 28% · Chronic kidney disease 18% · Depression 16% · Atrial fibrillation 13% · Heart failure 12% · Cancer 11% · COPD 10% · Dementia 4% · Stroke 4%.

The office billed $530,752, Medicare allowed $170,229 and paid $131,130; for 18,640 services of 54 kinds; $8,845 of it was for drugs given in the office and $122,285 for care.

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.

$944,053

Pharmacies billed $944,053 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 6% of their Part D prescriptions (516 of 9,037) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.

7,829 generic and 1,156 brand-name prescriptions · $944,053 in drug cost · 172 antibiotic prescriptions to 106 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.
