$499,518

Medicare paid this office $499,518 for 1,284 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Procedures year by year

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

1,284 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 7% · 85 and older 16% · Women 21% · Also on Medicaid 33% · Health risk score 1.31. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical urology clinician is at 1.36.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 44% · Coronary heart disease 32% · Chronic kidney disease 28% · Atrial fibrillation 22% · Heart failure 21% · Cancer 21% · COPD 18% · Depression 11% · Stroke 9% · Dementia 8%.

The office billed $1,460,396, Medicare allowed $671,943 and paid $499,518; for 30,937 services of 71 kinds; $149,125 of it was for drugs given in the office and $350,393 for care.

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.

$421,854 in 2024

Medicaid paid $421,854 for 5,443 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 159 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.

$1,377,485

Pharmacies billed $1,377,485 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (146 of 6,115) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical urology clinician is at 2%.

5,275 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,377,485 in drug cost · 893 antibiotic prescriptions to 401 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.
