These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$41,090

Medicare paid this office $41,090 for 229 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

229 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Under 65 16% · 85 and older 10% · Women 54% · Also on Medicaid 40% · Health risk score 2.26. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical anesthesiology clinician is at 1.54.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 51% · Diabetes 44% · Depression 42% · Chronic kidney disease 33% · Heart failure 30% · COPD 22% · Atrial fibrillation 22% · Cancer 20% · Stroke 16% · Dementia 11%.

The office billed $460,156, Medicare allowed $52,422 and paid $41,090; for 441 services of 78 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.

$403 in 2022

Medicaid paid $403 for 21 billed services this clinician did in 2022, up to 19 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.

$9,561

Pharmacies billed $9,561 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 39% of their Part D prescriptions (100 of 258) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical anesthesiology clinician is at 0%.

250 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $9,561 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.

$26 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
