$315,347

Medicare paid this office $315,347 for 904 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

904 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 5% · 85 and older 18% · Women 46% · Also on Medicaid 7% · Health risk score 1.03. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

The office billed $1,188,490, Medicare allowed $409,653 and paid $315,347; for 7,136 services of 34 kinds; $94,671 of it was for drugs given in the office and $220,676 for care.

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.

$1,183,368

Pharmacies billed $1,183,368 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 7% of their Part D prescriptions (936 of 12,852) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%. Long-acting opioids: 8% of their opioid prescriptions.

11,466 generic and 1,354 brand-name prescriptions · $1,183,368 in drug cost · 265 antibiotic prescriptions to 164 people · 91 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
