$6,389

Medicare paid this office $6,389 for 28 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

28 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 69 · Health risk score 2.61. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 50% · Diabetes 46% · COPD 43%.

The office billed $15,757, Medicare allowed $7,971 and paid $6,389; for 76 services of 6 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.

$895 in 2024

Medicaid paid $895 for 27 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 12 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.

$9,007

Pharmacies billed $9,007 in 2024.

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

37 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $9,007 in drug cost.

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.
