$111,929

Medicare paid this office $111,929 for 732 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

732 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 14% · 85 and older 25% · Women 60% · Also on Medicaid 62% · Health risk score 2.28. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 2.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 55% · Chronic kidney disease 43% · Coronary heart disease 41% · Heart failure 36% · Atrial fibrillation 31% · Depression 30% · COPD 28% · Dementia 26% · Stroke 18% · Cancer 16%.

The office billed $930,981, Medicare allowed $150,154 and paid $111,929; for 942 services of 45 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.

$118,533 in 2024

Medicaid paid $118,533 for 2,481 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 118 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.

$9,011

Pharmacies billed $9,011 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 11% of their Part D prescriptions (54 of 476) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 12%.

429 generic and 47 brand-name prescriptions · $9,011 in drug cost · 97 antibiotic prescriptions to 88 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.

$113 in 2025

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
