$41,578

Medicare paid this office $41,578 for 215 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

215 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 70 · Under 65 26% · 85 and older 12% · Women 47% · Also on Medicaid 52% · Health risk score 2.05. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 1.61.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 72% · Stroke 40% · Depression 39% · Diabetes 37% · Chronic kidney disease 32% · Coronary heart disease 31% · Dementia 27% · Heart failure 21% · Atrial fibrillation 20% · COPD 17% · Cancer 16%.

The office billed $205,827, Medicare allowed $56,167 and paid $41,578; for 362 services of 15 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.

$6,638 in 2024

Medicaid paid $6,638 for 22 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 12 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.

$980,679

Pharmacies billed $980,679 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 1,311) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 0%.

793 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $980,679 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.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

$58,920 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.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.
