$17,206

Medicare paid this office $17,206 for 74 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

74 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Women 38% · Also on Medicaid 37% · Health risk score 3.25. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 68% · Coronary heart disease 62% · Heart failure 61% · Diabetes 59% · Depression 39% · Atrial fibrillation 30% · COPD 28% · Dementia 23% · Stroke 22%.

The office billed $138,991, Medicare allowed $21,707 and paid $17,206; for 194 services of 5 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.

$3,629 in 2024

Medicaid paid $3,629 for 107 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 17 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.

$22,862

Pharmacies billed $22,862 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (19 of 350) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

308 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $22,862 in drug cost · 52 antibiotic prescriptions to 42 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.

$640 in 2019

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
