$270,991

Medicare paid this office $270,991 for 248 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

248 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 13% · 85 and older 19% · Women 60% · Also on Medicaid 48% · Health risk score 3.30. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical vascular surgery clinician is at 2.33.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 49% · Chronic kidney disease 44% · Coronary heart disease 37% · Heart failure 33% · Atrial fibrillation 27% · Depression 27% · Cancer 16% · Stroke 16% · COPD 14% · Dementia 10%.

The office billed $1,062,691, Medicare allowed $346,444 and paid $270,991; for 1,003 services of 90 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.

$8,853 in 2024

Medicaid paid $8,853 for 210 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 29 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.

$33,376

Pharmacies billed $33,376 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 13% of their Part D prescriptions (28 of 210) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical vascular surgery clinician is at 11%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.

174 generic and 36 brand-name prescriptions · $33,376 in drug cost · 19 antibiotic prescriptions to 11 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.

$432 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.

8 measures · 2023

Medicare asked this office to report how often certain checkups happened in 2023. This is not a grade for the doctor. A specialist’s patients may not need every screening.

What the office says it does

Boxes the office ticked on its Medicare worksheet for 2023. Nobody checks these.
