$19,976

Medicare paid this office $19,976 for 39 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

39 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Women 31% · Also on Medicaid 31% · Health risk score 1.55. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical neurosurgery clinician is at 1.46.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 67% · Depression 44% · Stroke 28%.

The office billed $199,675, Medicare allowed $25,567 and paid $19,976; for 68 services of 26 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.

$110

Pharmacies billed $110 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 56% of their Part D prescriptions (15 of 27) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to compare fairly with other clinicians.

27 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $110 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.

$1,197 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.
