Original Medicare doctor bills
$4,814

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

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Removal of skin and tissue, 20.0 sq cm or less | 118 | 238 | 84 | 231 | 127 | – |
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
27 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 80 · Women 52% · Health risk score 2.23. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 1.42.
