$283,389

Medicare paid this office $283,389 for 446 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

446 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 26% · Women 46% · Also on Medicaid 22% · Health risk score 2.93. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical nephrology clinician is at 4.01.

The office billed $1,104,230, Medicare allowed $370,045 and paid $283,389; for 9,643 services of 19 kinds; $17,599 of it was for drugs given in the office and $265,790 for care.

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.

$222 in 2024

Medicaid paid $222 for 55 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 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.

$331,207

Pharmacies billed $331,207 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (13 of 3,070) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nephrology clinician is at 0%.

2,883 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $331,207 in drug cost · 80 antibiotic prescriptions to 45 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.
