$71,074

Medicare paid this office $71,074 for 349 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

349 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Under 65 15% · 85 and older 6% · Women 57% · Also on Medicaid 32% · Health risk score 1.60. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical gastroenterology clinician is at 1.42.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 60% · Depression 28% · Diabetes 23% · Coronary heart disease 22% · Chronic kidney disease 21% · Cancer 21% · COPD 16% · Atrial fibrillation 15% · Heart failure 14% · Stroke 8% · Dementia 5%.

The office billed $1,012,934, Medicare allowed $89,498 and paid $71,074; for 679 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.

$7,419 in 2024

Medicaid paid $7,419 for 56 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 16 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.

$38,107

Pharmacies billed $38,107 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 141) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical gastroenterology clinician is at 0%.

123 generic and 18 brand-name prescriptions · $38,107 in drug cost · 30 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.

$50 in 2023

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
