$728,337

Medicare paid this office $728,337 for 640 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

640 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 78 · Women 37% · Also on Medicaid 5% · Health risk score 1.14. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical dermatology clinician is at 1.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 70% · Chronic kidney disease 26% · Coronary heart disease 23% · Cancer 22% · Diabetes 21% · Atrial fibrillation 21% · Heart failure 16% · Depression 14% · COPD 12% · Stroke 7% · Dementia 6%.

The office billed $2,306,826, Medicare allowed $921,902 and paid $728,337; for 2,133 services of 92 kinds; $4,507 of it was for drugs given in the office and $723,831 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.

$13,071 in 2020

Medicaid paid $13,071 for 143 billed services this clinician did in 2020, up to 23 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.

$6,390

Pharmacies billed $6,390 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (13 of 760) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical dermatology clinician is at 0%.

760 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $6,390 in drug cost · 259 antibiotic prescriptions to 221 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.

$81 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.
