$2,750,052

Medicare paid this office $2,750,052 for 601 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

601 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 3% · 85 and older 18% · Women 63% · Also on Medicaid 4% · Health risk score 1.32. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology-oncology clinician is at 2.04.

The office billed $8,716,316, Medicare allowed $3,448,880 and paid $2,750,052; for 125,754 services of 136 kinds; $2,534,997 of it was for drugs given in the office and $215,055 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.

$1,996,547

Pharmacies billed $1,996,547 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (31 of 722) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology-oncology clinician is at 5%.

503 generic and 219 brand-name prescriptions · $1,996,547 in drug cost · 36 antibiotic prescriptions to 16 people · 34 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.

$301 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.
