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

$19,308

Medicare paid this office $19,308 for 138 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

138 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Women 48% · Also on Medicaid 27% · Health risk score 2.03. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1.31.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 36% · Coronary heart disease 30% · Cancer 28% · Chronic kidney disease 25% · Depression 23% · Heart failure 22% · Atrial fibrillation 19% · COPD 14% · Dementia 9%.

The office billed $101,562, Medicare allowed $24,551 and paid $19,308; for 214 services of 13 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.

$386,827

Pharmacies billed $386,827 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 8% of their Part D prescriptions (52 of 624) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

401 generic and 209 brand-name prescriptions · $386,827 in drug cost · 53 antibiotic prescriptions to 26 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.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

$85 in 2023

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.
