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

$45,481

Medicare paid this office $45,481 for 327 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

327 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 9% · 85 and older 19% · Women 57% · Also on Medicaid 27% · Health risk score 2.20. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 2.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 42% · Chronic kidney disease 38% · Diabetes 37% · Heart failure 30% · Depression 30% · Atrial fibrillation 28% · Cancer 23% · COPD 19% · Dementia 19% · Stroke 16%.

The office billed $283,117, Medicare allowed $60,133 and paid $45,481; for 393 services of 37 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.

$33,490 in 2024

Medicaid paid $33,490 for 314 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 35 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.

$2,099

Pharmacies billed $2,099 in 2024.

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

65 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $2,099 in drug cost · 23 antibiotic prescriptions to 20 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
