$32,570

Medicare paid this office $32,570 for 438 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

438 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 12% · 85 and older 16% · Women 56% · Also on Medicaid 51% · Health risk score 2.36. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical diagnostic radiology clinician is at 1.7.

The office billed $328,135, Medicare allowed $42,387 and paid $32,570; for 676 services of 46 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.

$15,846 in 2024

Medicaid paid $15,846 for 206 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 25 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.
