3 hospitals

These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

$223,233

Medicare paid this office $223,233 for 572 people. Most of that is long return visits and Botox.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

572 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Under 65 6% · 85 and older 18% · Women 51% · Also on Medicaid 15% · Health risk score 2.01. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology-oncology clinician is at 2.04.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 34% · Diabetes 33% · Chronic kidney disease 31% · Cancer 27% · Atrial fibrillation 25% · Heart failure 24% · Depression 17% · COPD 13% · Stroke 11% · Dementia 9%.

The office billed $676,404, Medicare allowed $291,052 and paid $223,233; for 3,323 services of 25 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.

$1,091 in 2023

Medicaid paid $1,091 for 73 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 14 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.

$4,854,244

Pharmacies billed $4,854,244 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (11 of 921) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology-oncology clinician is at 5%.

520 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $4,854,244 in drug cost · 19 antibiotic prescriptions to 17 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.

$509 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.
