These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$9,960

Medicare paid this office $9,960 for 98 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

98 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Women 60% · Also on Medicaid 27% · Health risk score 1.88. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 2.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 37% · Diabetes 30% · Cancer 27% · Chronic kidney disease 26% · Depression 26% · Heart failure 22% · Atrial fibrillation 21% · Stroke 16% · Dementia 12% · COPD 11%.

The office billed $51,458, Medicare allowed $13,726 and paid $9,960; for 106 services of 23 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.

$4,372 in 2024

Medicaid paid $4,372 for 44 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.

$459

Pharmacies billed $459 in 2024.

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

20 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $459 in drug cost · 11 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.
