Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

112 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Women 66% · Also on Medicaid 21% · Health risk score 1.68. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 32% · Depression 30% · Chronic kidney disease 29% · Diabetes 27% · Atrial fibrillation 21% · Cancer 19% · Dementia 18% · Heart failure 15% · COPD 13% · Stroke 13%.

The office billed $439,274, Medicare allowed $81,277 and paid $64,245; for 196 services of 51 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.

$351 in 2020

Medicaid paid $351 for 13 billed services this clinician did in 2020, 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.

$890,674 in 2025

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.
