$307,413

Medicare paid this office $307,413 for 947 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

947 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 3% · 85 and older 17% · Women 46% · Also on Medicaid 7% · Health risk score 1.63. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinician is at 1.8.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Atrial fibrillation 68% · Coronary heart disease 53% · Heart failure 44% · Chronic kidney disease 37% · Diabetes 36% · Depression 22% · COPD 20% · Cancer 17% · Stroke 15% · Dementia 9%.

The office billed $989,665, Medicare allowed $411,314 and paid $307,413; for 5,923 services of 63 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.

$7,007 in 2024

Medicaid paid $7,007 for 1,033 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 35 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.

$1,005,774

Pharmacies billed $1,005,774 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 3,458) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinician is at 0%.

2,550 generic and 908 brand-name prescriptions · $1,005,774 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.

$4,597 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.

Research money

Money a company paid to run a study. Where it went to their institution, the clinician is named as an investigator and did not receive it; the amount covers the whole study, often across many sites.
