Original Medicare doctor bills
$11,111
Medicare paid this office $11,111 for 44 people.

The office billed $136,459, Medicare allowed $14,085 and paid $11,111; for 86 services of 35 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.

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.
Medicaid work
$3,467 in 2024
Medicaid paid $3,467 for 70 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 23 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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$4,700
Pharmacies billed $4,700 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 50% of their Part D prescriptions (48 of 97) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical vascular surgery clinician is at 11%.
95 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $4,700 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.
