These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$15,914

Medicare paid this office $15,914 for 79 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

79 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Women 61% · Health risk score 1.42. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 1.16.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 67% · Atrial fibrillation 30% · Coronary heart disease 25% · Depression 25% · Diabetes 24% · Heart failure 19% · Chronic kidney disease 19% · Cancer 15% · COPD 14%.

The office billed $107,778, Medicare allowed $22,441 and paid $15,914; for 128 services of 23 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.

$393 in 2021

Medicaid paid $393 for 16 billed services this clinician did in 2021, up to 15 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.

$1,647

Pharmacies billed $1,647 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 12% of their Part D prescriptions (15 of 122) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 0%.

107 generic and 15 brand-name prescriptions · $1,647 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.

$220 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.
