$33,461

Medicare paid this office $33,461 for 165 people.

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

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

165 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Women 73% · Also on Medicaid 16% · Health risk score 1.51. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical rheumatology clinician is at 1.38.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 28% · Depression 28% · Chronic kidney disease 26% · Coronary heart disease 20% · COPD 17% · Heart failure 16% · Atrial fibrillation 16% · Cancer 15% · Stroke 7%.

The office billed $102,315, Medicare allowed $44,736 and paid $33,461; for 649 services of 11 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.

$1,235 in 2024

Medicaid paid $1,235 for 41 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 16 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.

$1,890,332

Pharmacies billed $1,890,332 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 1,732) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical rheumatology clinician is at 3%.

1,374 generic and 345 brand-name prescriptions · $1,890,332 in drug cost · 12 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.

$332 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
