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

$9,953

Medicare paid this office $9,953 for 95 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

95 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Women 41% · Also on Medicaid 15% · Health risk score 1.50. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1.31.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Cancer 57% · Coronary heart disease 44% · Atrial fibrillation 42% · COPD 37% · Diabetes 35% · Chronic kidney disease 33% · Depression 22% · Heart failure 18%.

The office billed $57,051, Medicare allowed $12,680 and paid $9,953; for 107 services of 7 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.

$13,630

Pharmacies billed $13,630 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 25% of their Part D prescriptions (64 of 254) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

238 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $13,630 in drug cost · 26 antibiotic prescriptions to 15 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.

$153 in 2025

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
