$39,914

Medicare paid this office $39,914 for 131 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

131 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Under 65 21% · 85 and older 12% · Women 53% · Also on Medicaid 41% · Health risk score 2.62. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical pulmonary disease clinician is at 2.13.

The office billed $353,663, Medicare allowed $51,519 and paid $39,914; for 468 services of 55 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.

$1,019 in 2024

Medicaid paid $1,019 for 22 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 12 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.

$49,262

Pharmacies billed $49,262 in 2024.

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

89 generic and 63 brand-name prescriptions · $49,262 in drug cost.

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.

$106,419 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.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.
