$8,797

Medicare paid this office $8,797 for 47 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

47 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Women 68% · Health risk score 1.28. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 60% · Depression 26% · Cancer 23% · Atrial fibrillation 23%.

The office billed $54,607, Medicare allowed $10,965 and paid $8,797; for 136 services of 10 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.

$932 in 2024

Medicaid paid $932 for 14 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 14 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.

$3,310

Pharmacies billed $3,310 in 2024.

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

108 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $3,310 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.
