$143,753

Medicare paid this office $143,753 for 625 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

625 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 7% · 85 and older 23% · Women 59% · Also on Medicaid 31% · Health risk score 1.61. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical podiatry clinician is at 1.55.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 44% · Coronary heart disease 32% · Chronic kidney disease 30% · Heart failure 22% · Atrial fibrillation 20% · Depression 17% · COPD 16% · Cancer 15% · Dementia 11% · Stroke 10%.

The office billed $419,257, Medicare allowed $203,235 and paid $143,753; for 2,501 services of 49 kinds; $53 of it was for drugs given in the office and $143,701 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.

$4,796 in 2024

Medicaid paid $4,796 for 552 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 38 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.

$44,023

Pharmacies billed $44,023 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 821) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical podiatry clinician is at 5%.

788 generic and 33 brand-name prescriptions · $44,023 in drug cost · 77 antibiotic prescriptions to 60 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.

$712 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.
