$251,345

Medicare paid this office $251,345 for 404 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

404 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 14% · 85 and older 24% · Women 45% · Also on Medicaid 46% · Health risk score 5.08. 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 75% · Diabetes 69% · Heart failure 63% · Coronary heart disease 50% · Atrial fibrillation 45% · Depression 29% · Dementia 26% · Stroke 25% · COPD 21% · Cancer 18%.

The office billed $689,403, Medicare allowed $322,258 and paid $251,345; for 2,340 services of 22 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.

$33,703 in 2024

Medicaid paid $33,703 for 463 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 18 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.

$214,385

Pharmacies billed $214,385 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 1,158) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

979 generic and 179 brand-name prescriptions · $214,385 in drug cost · 35 antibiotic prescriptions to 26 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.

$1,999 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.
