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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

174 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 75 · Under 65 7% · 85 and older 17% · Women 66% · Also on Medicaid 18% · Health risk score 1.20. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 1.13.

The office billed $321,293, Medicare allowed $100,681 and paid $76,897; for 2,863 services of 89 kinds; $1,132 of it was for drugs given in the office and $75,765 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.

$9,592

Pharmacies billed $9,592 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 29% of their Part D prescriptions (31 of 108) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.

98 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $9,592 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.

$56,519 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.
