$28,623

Medicare paid this office $28,623 for 233 people.

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

233 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Under 65 10% · 85 and older 7% · Women 91% · Also on Medicaid 30% · Health risk score 1.19. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 1.42.

The office billed $217,871, Medicare allowed $38,422 and paid $28,623; for 512 services of 16 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.

$28,196 in 2018

Medicaid paid $28,196 for 519 billed services this clinician did in 2018, up to 49 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.

$137,653

Pharmacies billed $137,653 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (49 of 1,534) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%. Long-acting opioids: 22% of their opioid prescriptions.

1,319 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $137,653 in drug cost · 91 antibiotic prescriptions to 59 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
