These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

Original Medicare patients only. A risk score of 1.0 is the average Medicare patient; higher means sicker. Any count under 11 is hidden.

Medicaid work

$0 in 2020

Medicaid paid $0 for 27 billed services this clinician did in 2020, 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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$29,021

Pharmacies billed $29,021 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 198) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical urology clinician is at 2%.

156 generic and 42 brand-name prescriptions · $29,021 in drug cost · 16 antibiotic prescriptions to 15 people.

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.

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

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
