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

$16,426

Medicare paid this office $16,426 for 51 people. Most of that is long return visits and Botox.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

51 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Women 69% · Health risk score 2.14. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical rheumatology clinician is at 1.38.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 73% · Chronic kidney disease 47% · Diabetes 41% · COPD 35% · Atrial fibrillation 27% · Coronary heart disease 25%.

The office billed $103,391, Medicare allowed $21,791 and paid $16,426; for 252 services of 15 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.

$40,730

Pharmacies billed $40,730 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 182) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical rheumatology clinician is at 3%.

164 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $40,730 in drug cost · 28 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.

$95 in 2025

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
