$516,409

Medicare paid this office $516,409 for 1,023 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

1,023 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 10% · 85 and older 26% · Women 52% · Also on Medicaid 64% · Health risk score 3.82. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical nephrology clinician is at 4.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 75% · Diabetes 73% · Coronary heart disease 46% · Heart failure 45% · Atrial fibrillation 30% · Dementia 21% · COPD 20% · Depression 19% · Stroke 16% · Cancer 13%.

The office billed $1,559,830, Medicare allowed $678,097 and paid $516,409; for 4,503 services of 12 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.

$46,109 in 2024

Medicaid paid $46,109 for 3,022 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 86 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.

$2,301,525

Pharmacies billed $2,301,525 in 2024.

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

7,749 generic and 2,339 brand-name prescriptions · $2,301,525 in drug cost · 64 antibiotic prescriptions to 45 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.
