What this clinician told their state board, medical school and everything before it. Only some states publish this, so nothing here means the state does not say, not that there was no training or certification.

$5,061

Medicare paid this office $5,061 for 76 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

76 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 69 · Under 65 24% · Women 50% · Also on Medicaid 43% · Health risk score 1.17. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 72% · Diabetes 34% · Depression 25% · COPD 24% · Coronary heart disease 22% · Chronic kidney disease 22% · Atrial fibrillation 21% · Cancer 18% · Heart failure 16%.

The office billed $15,177, Medicare allowed $6,454 and paid $5,061; for 694 services of 6 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.

$75 in 2024

Medicaid paid $75 for 222 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 34 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.

$27,689

Pharmacies billed $27,689 in 2024.

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

279 generic and 92 brand-name prescriptions · $27,689 in drug cost · 145 antibiotic prescriptions to 138 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.

$662 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.
