$92,843

Medicare paid this office $92,843 for 364 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

364 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 7% · 85 and older 18% · Women 53% · Also on Medicaid 36% · Health risk score 1.42. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 1.61.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Dementia 34% · Diabetes 33% · Chronic kidney disease 29% · Depression 28% · Coronary heart disease 20% · Atrial fibrillation 18% · Cancer 15% · Heart failure 14% · Stroke 13% · COPD 12%.

The office billed $334,762, Medicare allowed $131,331 and paid $92,843; for 847 services of 33 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.

$409 in 2023

Medicaid paid $409 for 31 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 18 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.

$610,521

Pharmacies billed $610,521 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 2,087) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 0%.

1,969 generic and 118 brand-name prescriptions · $610,521 in drug cost · 102 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.

$4,777 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.
