3 hospitals

These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$370,075

Medicare paid this office $370,075 for 371 people. Most of that is long return visits and Botox.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

371 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 9% · 85 and older 15% · Women 49% · Also on Medicaid 35% · Health risk score 2.41. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical medical oncology clinician is at 2.11.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Cancer 51% · Diabetes 42% · Coronary heart disease 39% · Chronic kidney disease 31% · Heart failure 21% · Atrial fibrillation 21% · COPD 17% · Depression 16% · Dementia 10% · Stroke 9%.

The office billed $2,087,348, Medicare allowed $479,411 and paid $370,075; for 4,691 services of 15 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.

$112,445 in 2024

Medicaid paid $112,445 for 2,032 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 70 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.

$1,375,390

Pharmacies billed $1,375,390 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 6% of their Part D prescriptions (116 of 2,038) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical medical oncology clinician is at 6%. Long-acting opioids: 28% of their opioid prescriptions.

1,679 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,375,390 in drug cost · 74 antibiotic prescriptions to 29 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.

$1,226 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.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.
