$83,546

Medicare paid this office $83,546 for 292 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Procedures year by year

Times billed to Original Medicare each year. A blank year means fewer than 11 people had it, or none: Medicare does not publish smaller counts. Medicare Advantage patients are not included.

Who their Medicare patients are

292 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Under 65 14% · 85 and older 10% · Women 49% · Also on Medicaid 38% · Health risk score 1.99. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 1.69.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 46% · Chronic kidney disease 42% · Coronary heart disease 38% · Heart failure 30% · Depression 27% · Atrial fibrillation 22% · Cancer 20% · COPD 15% · Stroke 11% · Dementia 9%.

The office billed $326,177, Medicare allowed $108,076 and paid $83,546; for 609 services of 67 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.

$1,089 in 2024

Medicaid paid $1,089 for 300 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 27 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.

$502

Pharmacies billed $502 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 52% of their Part D prescriptions (48 of 93) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 34%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.

93 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $502 in drug cost · 12 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.

$113 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.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
