$269,223

Medicare paid this office $269,223 for 65 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

65 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 78 · Women 49% · Health risk score 2.71. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology-oncology clinician is at 2.04.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 72% · Cancer 45% · Chronic kidney disease 37% · Coronary heart disease 31% · Atrial fibrillation 22% · Depression 20% · Heart failure 18% · Stroke 17%.

The office billed $1,104,512, Medicare allowed $340,036 and paid $269,223; for 10,183 services of 76 kinds; $257,380 of it was for drugs given in the office and $11,843 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.

$735 in 2023

Medicaid paid $735 for 15 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 12 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.

$111,656

Pharmacies billed $111,656 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 111) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology-oncology clinician is at 5%.

77 generic and 34 brand-name prescriptions · $111,656 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.

$53 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.

17 measures · 2023

Medicare asked this office to report how often certain checkups happened in 2023. This is not a grade for the doctor. A specialist’s patients may not need every screening.
