$24,872

Medicare paid this office $24,872 for 195 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

195 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 69 · Under 65 29% · 85 and older 13% · Women 52% · Also on Medicaid 77% · Health risk score 2.80. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 2.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Depression 45% · Diabetes 43% · Chronic kidney disease 35% · Coronary heart disease 28% · Heart failure 27% · COPD 27% · Atrial fibrillation 26% · Cancer 21% · Dementia 20% · Stroke 18%.

The office billed $309,572, Medicare allowed $33,400 and paid $24,872; for 218 services of 20 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.

$39,674 in 2024

Medicaid paid $39,674 for 681 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 31 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.

$401

Pharmacies billed $401 in 2024.

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

43 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $401 in drug cost · 16 antibiotic prescriptions to 14 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
