$153,849

Medicare paid this office $153,849 for 267 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

267 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 6% · 85 and older 15% · Women 17% · Also on Medicaid 55% · Health risk score 1.40. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical urology clinician is at 1.36.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 51% · Chronic kidney disease 34% · Cancer 34% · Coronary heart disease 28% · Atrial fibrillation 15% · Heart failure 12% · COPD 12% · Depression 11% · Dementia 8% · Stroke 6%.

The office billed $618,816, Medicare allowed $200,999 and paid $153,849; for 4,102 services of 60 kinds; $47,603 of it was for drugs given in the office and $106,247 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.

$966 in 2024

Medicaid paid $966 for 623 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 33 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.

$1,724,828

Pharmacies billed $1,724,828 in 2024.

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

1,370 generic and 512 brand-name prescriptions · $1,724,828 in drug cost · 176 antibiotic prescriptions to 141 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.

$1,051 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.
