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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

489 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Women 52% · Also on Medicaid 6% · Health risk score 0.94. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 1.19.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 59% · Coronary heart disease 27% · Chronic kidney disease 17% · Atrial fibrillation 16% · Cancer 15% · Diabetes 14% · Depression 14% · Heart failure 11% · COPD 6% · Stroke 6% · Dementia 3%.

The office billed $431,227, Medicare allowed $141,145 and paid $105,001; for 960 services of 41 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.

$9,213

Pharmacies billed $9,213 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (14 of 307) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 4%.

296 generic and 11 brand-name prescriptions · $9,213 in drug cost · 31 antibiotic prescriptions to 22 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.

$375 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.
