$116,886

Medicare paid this office $116,886 for 335 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

335 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 80 · 85 and older 30% · Women 52% · Also on Medicaid 46% · Health risk score 2.03. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical cardiology clinician is at 1.71.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 56% · Coronary heart disease 56% · Heart failure 45% · Chronic kidney disease 43% · Atrial fibrillation 41% · Depression 27% · COPD 23% · Stroke 23% · Dementia 20% · Cancer 16%.

The office billed $438,810, Medicare allowed $160,056 and paid $116,886; for 1,498 services of 52 kinds; $608 of it was for drugs given in the office and $116,278 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.

$16,902 in 2024

Medicaid paid $16,902 for 330 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 29 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.

$656,847

Pharmacies billed $656,847 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 3,348) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical cardiology clinician is at 0%.

2,849 generic and 499 brand-name prescriptions · $656,847 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.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

$5,352 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.
