$517,984

Medicare paid this office $517,984 for 1,294 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

1,294 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 3% · 85 and older 20% · Women 59% · Also on Medicaid 17% · Health risk score 1.09. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 1.16.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 68% · Diabetes 24% · Chronic kidney disease 24% · Coronary heart disease 20% · Atrial fibrillation 16% · Cancer 14% · Depression 14% · COPD 12% · Heart failure 11% · Stroke 7% · Dementia 5%.

The office billed $2,090,156, Medicare allowed $712,331 and paid $517,984; for 5,865 services of 45 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.

$3,649 in 2024

Medicaid paid $3,649 for 423 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 22 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.

$945,561

Pharmacies billed $945,561 in 2024.

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

4,737 generic and 3,202 brand-name prescriptions · $945,561 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.

$16,930 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.

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.
