$172,471

Medicare paid this office $172,471 for 1,264 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

1,264 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 12% · Women 58% · Also on Medicaid 11% · Health risk score 1.39. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical diagnostic radiology clinician is at 1.7.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 70% · Coronary heart disease 28% · Depression 28% · Diabetes 26% · Chronic kidney disease 26% · Heart failure 19% · Cancer 18% · COPD 18% · Atrial fibrillation 17% · Stroke 15% · Dementia 11%.

The office billed $650,708, Medicare allowed $231,682 and paid $172,471; for 11,540 services of 100 kinds; $4,281 of it was for drugs given in the office and $168,190 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.

$8,522 in 2024

Medicaid paid $8,522 for 140 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 31 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.

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

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

$22 in 2021

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
