$345,339

Medicare paid this office $345,339 for 928 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

928 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 5% · 85 and older 11% · Women 65% · Also on Medicaid 26% · Health risk score 1.08. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 1.16.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 35% · Coronary heart disease 28% · Chronic kidney disease 22% · Depression 19% · Heart failure 14% · Atrial fibrillation 14% · Cancer 13% · COPD 11% · Stroke 7% · Dementia 4%.

The office billed $1,387,927, Medicare allowed $461,157 and paid $345,339; for 8,111 services of 64 kinds; $25,376 of it was for drugs given in the office and $319,964 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.

$13,155 in 2024

Medicaid paid $13,155 for 129 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 32 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.

$251,265

Pharmacies billed $251,265 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 15% of their Part D prescriptions (272 of 1,864) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 0%.

1,682 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $251,265 in drug cost · 460 antibiotic prescriptions to 394 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.

$403 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.
