$120,089

Medicare paid this office $120,089 for 511 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

511 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 6% · 85 and older 16% · Women 50% · Also on Medicaid 47% · Health risk score 1.61. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical gastroenterology clinician is at 1.42.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 41% · Chronic kidney disease 35% · Coronary heart disease 32% · Atrial fibrillation 27% · Depression 26% · Heart failure 25% · Cancer 19% · COPD 17% · Dementia 17% · Stroke 12%.

The office billed $521,249, Medicare allowed $161,162 and paid $120,089; for 1,209 services of 26 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.

$101,101 in 2024

Medicaid paid $101,101 for 1,813 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 55 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.

$356,110

Pharmacies billed $356,110 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 993) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical gastroenterology clinician is at 0%.

802 generic and 191 brand-name prescriptions · $356,110 in drug cost · 51 antibiotic prescriptions to 25 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.

$2,605 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.
