$474,151

Medicare paid this office $474,151 for 1,249 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

1,249 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 3% · 85 and older 16% · Women 48% · Also on Medicaid 10% · Health risk score 1.60. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical pulmonary disease clinician is at 2.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 48% · Diabetes 41% · Atrial fibrillation 32% · Heart failure 29% · Chronic kidney disease 28% · COPD 27% · Depression 22% · Cancer 18% · Stroke 16% · Dementia 12%.

The office billed $2,013,221, Medicare allowed $619,709 and paid $474,151; for 3,141 services of 27 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.

$0 in 2022

Medicaid paid $0 for 69 billed services this clinician did in 2022, up to 16 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.

$752,772

Pharmacies billed $752,772 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 1,702) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical pulmonary disease clinician is at 0%.

947 generic and 755 brand-name prescriptions · $752,772 in drug cost · 55 antibiotic prescriptions to 35 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.

$146 in 2024

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

17 measures · 2023

Medicare asked this office to report how often certain checkups happened in 2023. This is not a grade for the doctor. A specialist’s patients may not need every screening.
