$296,977

Medicare paid this office $296,977 for 165 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

165 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Women 56% · Also on Medicaid 20% · Health risk score 1.24. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurosurgery clinician is at 1.46.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 37% · Diabetes 36% · Chronic kidney disease 24% · Atrial fibrillation 24% · Depression 24% · Stroke 18% · COPD 17% · Heart failure 16% · Cancer 16% · Dementia 10%.

The office billed $2,197,440, Medicare allowed $375,243 and paid $296,977; for 829 services of 51 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.

$1,539

Pharmacies billed $1,539 in 2024.

This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.

Opioids were 16% of their Part D prescriptions (26 of 159) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurosurgery clinician is at 28%.

157 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,539 in drug cost · 55 antibiotic prescriptions to 46 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.

$19,264 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.
