Original Medicare doctor bills
$9,420
Medicare paid this office $9,420 for 105 people.
This is what Medicare paid the clinician — not Medicare Advantage, and not the pharmacy.
| Emergency department visit with low level of medical decision making | 12 | $544 | $42 |
Procedures Medicare counted
| Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) | 14 | More than 52% of doctors who do this |
| Removal of tissue | 1-10 | None |
Procedures year by year
| Procedure | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Removal of gallbladder with x-ray study of bile ducts using an endoscope | – | 13 | – |
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
105 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Women 44% · Also on Medicaid 23% · Health risk score 1.80. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1.31.
Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Diabetes 35% · Chronic kidney disease 32% · Coronary heart disease 30% · Heart failure 26% · Depression 26% · COPD 20% · Atrial fibrillation 20% · Cancer 18% · Stroke 13%.
The office billed $52,829, Medicare allowed $12,435 and paid $9,420; for 140 services of 65 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
| 2024 | 105 | 140 | 72 | 1.80 | $52,829 | $9,420 |
| 2023 | 88 | 117 | 75 | 1.82 | $81,956 | $8,285 |
| 2022 | 85 | 120 | 72 | 1.84 | $138,104 | $8,798 |
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.

2023: 1 service
| Removal of gallbladder with x-ray study of bile ducts using an endoscope | 13 | $873 | $67 |
Medicaid work
$15,284 in 2024
Medicaid paid $15,284 for 105 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 26 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.

| 2024 | 105 | 2 | 26 | $15,284 |
Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$14,016
Pharmacies billed $14,016 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 39% of their Part D prescriptions (77 of 196) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.
172 generic and 24 brand-name prescriptions · $14,016 in drug cost · 24 antibiotic prescriptions to 23 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.
