$25,520

Medicare paid this office $25,520 for 112 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

112 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Women 56% · Health risk score 1.02. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 1.19.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 62% · Coronary heart disease 20% · Diabetes 19% · Cancer 19% · Depression 17% · Atrial fibrillation 13% · Chronic kidney disease 11% · COPD 11% · Stroke 11%.

The office billed $91,667, Medicare allowed $32,356 and paid $25,520; for 297 services of 19 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.

$3,386

Pharmacies billed $3,386 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 14% of their Part D prescriptions (32 of 233) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 4%.

227 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $3,386 in drug cost · 32 antibiotic prescriptions to 30 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.

$1,049 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.
