$99,485

Medicare paid this office $99,485 for 251 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

251 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Women 57% · Also on Medicaid 4% · Health risk score 0.96. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 29% · Diabetes 27% · Depression 17% · Atrial fibrillation 16% · Chronic kidney disease 15% · Heart failure 14% · Cancer 14% · COPD 11% · Dementia 10% · Stroke 9%.

The office billed $230,251, Medicare allowed $135,006 and paid $99,485; for 915 services of 63 kinds; $679 of it was for drugs given in the office and $98,806 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.

$1,028

Pharmacies billed $1,028 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 81% of their Part D prescriptions (76 of 94) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.

93 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,028 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.

$220 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.
