$256,265

Medicare paid this office $256,265 for 1,079 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

1,079 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 71 · Under 65 17% · 85 and older 7% · Women 56% · Also on Medicaid 64% · Health risk score 1.68. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical gastroenterology clinician is at 1.42.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 52% · Chronic kidney disease 33% · Coronary heart disease 31% · Depression 21% · Heart failure 20% · COPD 18% · Atrial fibrillation 14% · Cancer 13% · Stroke 8% · Dementia 7%.

The office billed $1,743,154, Medicare allowed $356,433 and paid $256,265; for 3,122 services of 50 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.

$11,495 in 2024

Medicaid paid $11,495 for 5,520 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 272 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.

$648,499

Pharmacies billed $648,499 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 1,810) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical gastroenterology clinician is at 0%.

1,612 generic and 198 brand-name prescriptions · $648,499 in drug cost · 81 antibiotic prescriptions to 47 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.

$2,004 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.
