$69,834

Medicare paid this office $69,834 for 222 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

222 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 5% · 85 and older 14% · Women 46% · Also on Medicaid 48% · Health risk score 1.33. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical colorectal surgery (proctology) clinician is at 1.44.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 70% · Diabetes 32% · Chronic kidney disease 28% · Depression 23% · Cancer 19% · Coronary heart disease 18% · COPD 14% · Atrial fibrillation 13% · Heart failure 10% · Stroke 9% · Dementia 6%.

The office billed $195,910, Medicare allowed $89,573 and paid $69,834; for 366 services of 51 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.

$36,556 in 2024

Medicaid paid $36,556 for 511 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 33 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.

$8,530

Pharmacies billed $8,530 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 13% of their Part D prescriptions (26 of 204) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical colorectal surgery (proctology) clinician is at 16%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.

140 generic and 64 brand-name prescriptions · $8,530 in drug cost · 15 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.

$149 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
