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

The office billed $1,020,002, Medicare allowed $90,130 and paid $67,148; for 4,419 services of 39 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.

$29,085 in 2024

Medicaid paid $29,085 for 2,692 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 167 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
