A missing listing does not mean out of network. Directories change, and a listing does not cover every office. Call Dr. Salom’s office to confirm they take your plan. Ask about the office you use, its medical group, referrals and appointments.

Checkups this office reported
16 measures · 2023
Medicare asked this office to report how often certain checkups happened in 2023. This is not a grade for the doctor. A specialist’s patients may not need every screening.

The office billed $7,515, Medicare allowed $2,482 and paid $1,951; for 173 services of 28 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
| 2024 | 107 | 173 | 72 | 0.96 | $7,515 | $1,951 |

| 2021 | 38 | 61 | 71 | 0.71 | $2,412 | $741 |
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.

Medicaid work
$435,850 in 2024
Medicaid paid $435,850 for 4,135 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 134 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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$104,689
Pharmacies billed $104,689 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (44 of 1,214) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.
1,093 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $104,689 in drug cost · 33 antibiotic prescriptions to 18 people · 44 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.
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.
