$363,943

Medicare paid this office $363,943 for 583 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

583 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Women 76% · Also on Medicaid 4% · Health risk score 0.90. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical gastroenterology clinician is at 1.42.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 54% · Cancer 20% · Coronary heart disease 19% · Depression 17% · Diabetes 13% · Chronic kidney disease 10% · Atrial fibrillation 10% · COPD 9% · Heart failure 7% · Stroke 5% · Dementia 3%.

The office billed $1,184,660, Medicare allowed $464,515 and paid $363,943; for 13,536 services of 28 kinds; $220,790 of it was for drugs given in the office and $143,154 for care.

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.

$1,060,682

Pharmacies billed $1,060,682 in 2024.

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

1,540 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,060,682 in drug cost · 68 antibiotic prescriptions to 43 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.

$4,518 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.

5 measures · 2023

Medicare asked this office to report how often certain checkups happened in 2023. This is not a grade for the doctor. A specialist’s patients may not need every screening.
