Who their Medicare patients are

34 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 64 · Women 68% · Also on Medicaid 44% · Health risk score 1.24. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical psychiatry clinician is at 1.35.

The office billed $46,439, Medicare allowed $14,380 and paid $11,055; for 143 services of 9 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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$7,597

Pharmacies billed $7,597 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 25) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to judge: with under about 50 a year, a handful of patients can swing this share.

16 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $7,597 in drug cost.

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.
