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.

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.

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.

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.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
