$32,356

Medicare paid this office $32,356 for 76 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

76 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Women 47% · Also on Medicaid 28% · Health risk score 1.73. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physical medicine and rehabilitation clinician is at 1.53.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Depression 41% · Diabetes 39% · Coronary heart disease 34% · Atrial fibrillation 30% · Heart failure 29% · Dementia 28% · Chronic kidney disease 20% · Stroke 18%.

The office billed $320,005, Medicare allowed $41,154 and paid $32,356; for 402 services of 14 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.

$1,729 in 2023

Medicaid paid $1,729 for 64 billed services this clinician did in 2023, 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.

$16,599

Pharmacies billed $16,599 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 8% of their Part D prescriptions (17 of 207) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical physical medicine and rehabilitation clinician is at 12%.

181 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $16,599 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.

$21 in 2021

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
