Medicare paid this office $149,579 for 306 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

306 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Under 65 9% · 85 and older 8% · Women 66% · Also on Medicaid 26% · Health risk score 1.36. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 66% · Depression 26% · Diabetes 24% · Chronic kidney disease 23% · Cancer 20% · Coronary heart disease 18% · Atrial fibrillation 18% · Heart failure 13% · COPD 10% · Dementia 4% · Stroke 4%.

The office billed $1,137,900, Medicare allowed $191,224 and paid $149,579; for 5,040 services of 32 kinds; $9,366 of it was for drugs given in the office and $140,213 for care.

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.

$13,369

Pharmacies billed $13,369 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 10% of their Part D prescriptions (16 of 155) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.

151 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $13,369 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.

$150 in 2021

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
