$51,906

Medicare paid this office $51,906 for 178 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

178 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Under 65 16% · 85 and older 17% · Women 48% · Also on Medicaid 62% · Health risk score 3.45. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical hospitalist clinician is at 2.49.

The office billed $298,366, Medicare allowed $65,091 and paid $51,906; for 582 services of 10 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.

$3,054 in 2024

Medicaid paid $3,054 for 35 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 12 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.

$131 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.
