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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

90 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Women 46% · Also on Medicaid 47% · Health risk score 1.81. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 1.69.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Cancer 46% · Atrial fibrillation 46% · Diabetes 44% · Coronary heart disease 42% · Chronic kidney disease 40% · Heart failure 39% · COPD 37% · Stroke 22% · Depression 19% · Dementia 19%.

The office billed $917,033, Medicare allowed $125,144 and paid $99,559; for 297 services of 73 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.

$0 in 2024

Medicaid paid $0 for 39 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 12 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.

$586 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.
