$40,991

Medicare paid this office $40,991 for 97 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

97 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Women 41% · Also on Medicaid 34% · Health risk score 2.27. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical medical oncology clinician is at 2.11.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 43% · Coronary heart disease 40% · Cancer 40% · Chronic kidney disease 35% · Atrial fibrillation 28% · Heart failure 23% · Depression 22% · Dementia 19% · Stroke 14%.

The office billed $165,616, Medicare allowed $51,775 and paid $40,991; for 348 services of 17 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.

$6,377

Pharmacies billed $6,377 in 2024.

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

60 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $6,377 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.

$8,744 in 2024

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

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.
