$13,723

Medicare paid this office $13,723 for 93 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

93 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 78 · 85 and older 26% · Women 47% · Also on Medicaid 81% · Health risk score 2.58. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 2.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 51% · Chronic kidney disease 44% · Heart failure 40% · Coronary heart disease 31% · Dementia 27% · Atrial fibrillation 26% · COPD 25% · Depression 23% · Stroke 16% · Cancer 14%.

The office billed $140,998, Medicare allowed $17,895 and paid $13,723; for 114 services of 12 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.

$12,534 in 2024

Medicaid paid $12,534 for 543 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 30 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.

$862

Pharmacies billed $862 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 54) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 12%.

50 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $862 in drug cost · 18 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.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

$38 in 2024

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.
