$823,881

Medicare paid this office $823,881 for 979 people.

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

979 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 79 · Under 65 2% · 85 and older 28% · Women 58% · Also on Medicaid 9% · Health risk score 1.41. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical cardiology clinician is at 1.71.

The office billed $2,156,780, Medicare allowed $1,081,749 and paid $823,881; for 7,091 services of 43 kinds; $3,411 of it was for drugs given in the office and $820,469 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.

$301 in 2024

Medicaid paid $301 for 68 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 19 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.

$1,261,612

Pharmacies billed $1,261,612 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 7,284) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical cardiology clinician is at 0%.

6,294 generic and 990 brand-name prescriptions · $1,261,612 in drug cost · 14 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.
