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

464 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 79 · Women 55% · Also on Medicaid 21% · Health risk score 1.41. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 1.61.

The office billed $226,417, Medicare allowed $112,256 and paid $83,068; for 740 services of 9 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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$28,726

Pharmacies billed $28,726 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 638) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 0%.

628 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $28,726 in drug cost · 38 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.
