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.

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

$43,314

Medicare paid this office $43,314 for 386 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

386 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 7% · Women 47% · Also on Medicaid 15% · Health risk score 1.21. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical sleep medicine clinician is at 1.21.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 69% · Diabetes 29% · Coronary heart disease 27% · Depression 23% · Chronic kidney disease 19% · Cancer 19% · Atrial fibrillation 19% · Heart failure 15% · COPD 11% · Stroke 9% · Dementia 5%.

The office billed $312,378, Medicare allowed $59,995 and paid $43,314; for 468 services of 11 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.

$1,817 in 2024

Medicaid paid $1,817 for 13 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 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.

$18,153

Pharmacies billed $18,153 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 19% of their Part D prescriptions (23 of 122) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical sleep medicine clinician is at 0%. Long-acting opioids: 78% of their opioid prescriptions.

97 generic and 25 brand-name prescriptions · $18,153 in drug cost.

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.

$6,033 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.
