$665,709

Medicare paid this office $665,709 for 503 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

503 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 6% · 85 and older 14% · Women 56% · Also on Medicaid 13% · Health risk score 2.36. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology-oncology clinician is at 2.04.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Cancer 50% · Chronic kidney disease 36% · Coronary heart disease 32% · Diabetes 28% · Depression 27% · Atrial fibrillation 25% · Heart failure 21% · COPD 17% · Stroke 8% · Dementia 6%.

The office billed $1,594,502, Medicare allowed $848,795 and paid $665,709; for 31,663 services of 126 kinds; $572,572 of it was for drugs given in the office and $93,137 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.

$219 in 2024

Medicaid paid $219 for 37 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 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.

$1,006,016

Pharmacies billed $1,006,016 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (16 of 737) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology-oncology clinician is at 5%.

647 generic and 90 brand-name prescriptions · $1,006,016 in drug cost · 29 antibiotic prescriptions to 22 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.
