Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

224 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 9% · 85 and older 15% · Women 41% · Also on Medicaid 27% · Health risk score 1.84. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 1.19.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 29% · Chronic kidney disease 26% · Diabetes 25% · COPD 22% · Depression 22% · Cancer 20% · Heart failure 16% · Atrial fibrillation 16% · Stroke 10% · Dementia 9%.

The office billed $730,475, Medicare allowed $133,135 and paid $102,825; for 611 services of 104 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.

$2,277

Pharmacies billed $2,277 in 2024.

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

121 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $2,277 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.

$141 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.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.
