$190,880

Medicare paid this office $190,880 for 595 people.

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

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

595 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 5% · 85 and older 13% · Women 59% · Also on Medicaid 13% · Health risk score 1.01. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 1.19.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 72% · Diabetes 26% · Coronary heart disease 25% · Chronic kidney disease 21% · Depression 21% · Atrial fibrillation 18% · Cancer 16% · COPD 15% · Heart failure 12% · Stroke 8% · Dementia 4%.

The office billed $820,808, Medicare allowed $259,016 and paid $190,880; for 2,276 services of 56 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.

$15,770 in 2024

Medicaid paid $15,770 for 280 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 21 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.

$42,406

Pharmacies billed $42,406 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 6% of their Part D prescriptions (37 of 586) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 4%.

546 generic and 40 brand-name prescriptions · $42,406 in drug cost · 106 antibiotic prescriptions to 64 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.

$535 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
