$87,810

Medicare paid this office $87,810 for 169 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

169 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 73 · Under 65 8% · 85 and older 8% · Women 62% · Also on Medicaid 11% · Health risk score 1.17. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 1.13.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Depression 28% · Diabetes 27% · Chronic kidney disease 27% · Coronary heart disease 25% · Atrial fibrillation 20% · COPD 17% · Heart failure 15% · Cancer 13%.

The office billed $258,383, Medicare allowed $113,030 and paid $87,810; for 3,316 services of 35 kinds; $18,461 of it was for drugs given in the office and $69,349 for care.

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.

$3,062 in 2024

Medicaid paid $3,062 for 80 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 16 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.

$5,652

Pharmacies billed $5,652 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 24% of their Part D prescriptions (119 of 500) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.

494 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $5,652 in drug cost · 54 antibiotic prescriptions to 32 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.

$1,372 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.
