$5,365

Medicare paid this office $5,365 for 32 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

32 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Health risk score 1.77. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical medical oncology clinician is at 2.11.

Conditions among them: Cancer 75% · High blood pressure 56%.

The office billed $18,989, Medicare allowed $7,074 and paid $5,365; for 61 services of 5 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.

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

Opioids were 0% of their 37 Part D prescriptions in 2021. Too few prescriptions to judge: with under about 50 a year, a handful of patients can swing this share.

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

$6,800 in 2022

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

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
