| 2013 | 11 | 20 | 64 | 3.80 | $22,285 | $4,514 |
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.
Medicaid work
$174 in 2024
Medicaid paid $174 for 17 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 15 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.
| Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; interpretation and report only | 17 | $174 |
| 2024 | 17 | 1 | 15 | $174 |
Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$57,306
Pharmacies billed $57,306 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 283) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical cardiology clinician is at 0%.
237 generic and 46 brand-name prescriptions · $57,306 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.
