The office billed $88,610, Medicare allowed $30,714 and paid $23,593; for 131 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.

| 2019 | 16 | 22 | 64 | 1.55 | $75,809 | $3,082 |
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
$6,731 in 2022
Medicaid paid $6,731 for 168 billed services this clinician did in 2022, up to 20 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.
| Short return visit (20+ min) | 138 | $4,576 |

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$758
Pharmacies billed $758 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 40% of their Part D prescriptions (27 of 67) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 34%.
62 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $758 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.
