$154,854

Medicare paid this office $154,854 for 615 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

615 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 4% · 85 and older 7% · Women 74% · Also on Medicaid 14% · Health risk score 0.95. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical gastroenterology clinician is at 1.42.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 58% · Diabetes 21% · Chronic kidney disease 19% · Depression 18% · Cancer 17% · Atrial fibrillation 14% · Coronary heart disease 12% · Heart failure 8% · COPD 8% · Stroke 4% · Dementia 3%.

The office billed $1,023,702, Medicare allowed $210,945 and paid $154,854; for 1,339 services of 35 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.

$1,085 in 2019

Medicaid paid $1,085 for 30 billed services this clinician did in 2019, 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.

$778,377

Pharmacies billed $778,377 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 1,616) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical gastroenterology clinician is at 0%.

1,167 generic and 449 brand-name prescriptions · $778,377 in drug cost · 75 antibiotic prescriptions to 47 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.

$2,025 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.

16 measures · 2023

Medicare asked this office to report how often certain checkups happened in 2023. This is not a grade for the doctor. A specialist’s patients may not need every screening.
