$66,103

Medicare paid this office $66,103 for 111 people. Most of that is long return visits and Botox.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

111 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 77 · Under 65 0% · 85 and older 21% · Women 65% · Health risk score 0.86. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 66% · Coronary heart disease 23% · Cancer 19% · Atrial fibrillation 18% · Chronic kidney disease 17% · Depression 17% · Diabetes 14% · COPD 12%.

The office billed $198,653, Medicare allowed $85,015 and paid $66,103; for 538 services of 27 kinds; $1,987 of it was for drugs given in the office and $64,116 for care.

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.

$136,711

Pharmacies billed $136,711 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (15 of 1,341) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

1,184 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $136,711 in drug cost · 43 antibiotic prescriptions to 28 people · 15 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.
