$982,871

Medicare paid this office $982,871 for 667 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

667 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 16% · 85 and older 21% · Women 51% · Also on Medicaid 95% · Health risk score 3.17. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical family practice clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 64% · Depression 58% · Dementia 57% · Chronic kidney disease 47% · Heart failure 45% · COPD 43% · Coronary heart disease 42% · Stroke 29% · Atrial fibrillation 27% · Cancer 10%.

The office billed $2,861,014, Medicare allowed $1,291,673 and paid $982,871; for 13,287 services of 47 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.

$275,646 in 2024

Medicaid paid $275,646 for 8,610 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 129 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.

$1,620,842

Pharmacies billed $1,620,842 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (645 of 24,636) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%. Long-acting opioids: 8% of their opioid prescriptions.

21,105 generic and 3,327 brand-name prescriptions · $1,620,842 in drug cost · 409 antibiotic prescriptions to 192 people · 606 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.
