$147,459

Medicare paid this office $147,459 for 149 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

149 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 17% · 85 and older 24% · Women 42% · Also on Medicaid 68% · Health risk score 5.08. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nephrology clinician is at 4.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 75% · Chronic kidney disease 75% · Coronary heart disease 50% · Heart failure 46% · Atrial fibrillation 32% · COPD 26% · Dementia 20% · Depression 19% · Stroke 13% · Cancer 12%.

The office billed $300,199, Medicare allowed $185,121 and paid $147,459; for 797 services of 16 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.

$10,380 in 2024

Medicaid paid $10,380 for 246 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 24 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.

$113,005

Pharmacies billed $113,005 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 779) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical nephrology clinician is at 0%.

661 generic and 118 brand-name prescriptions · $113,005 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.

$697 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.

7 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.
