$140,321

Medicare paid this office $140,321 for 385 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

385 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 25% · Women 53% · Also on Medicaid 24% · Health risk score 1.99. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

The office billed $426,255, Medicare allowed $189,981 and paid $140,321; for 1,552 services of 18 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.

$240 in 2024

Medicaid paid $240 for 23 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 14 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.

$429,782

Pharmacies billed $429,782 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (30 of 5,870) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

5,260 generic and 590 brand-name prescriptions · $429,782 in drug cost · 488 antibiotic prescriptions to 205 people · 17 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
