$53,934

Medicare paid this office $53,934 for 168 people.

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

Who their Medicare patients are

168 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 61 · Under 65 45% · Women 43% · Also on Medicaid 28% · Health risk score 6.30. Sicker patients than 9 in 10 peers; the typical nephrology clinician is at 4.01.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Chronic kidney disease 75% · Diabetes 61% · Coronary heart disease 38% · Heart failure 32% · Depression 27% · Atrial fibrillation 21% · Cancer 14% · Stroke 11% · COPD 10%.

The office billed $205,859, Medicare allowed $69,771 and paid $53,934; for 617 services of 14 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.

$564 in 2023

Medicaid paid $564 for 13 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 12 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.

$58,035

Pharmacies billed $58,035 in 2024.

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

626 generic and 48 brand-name prescriptions · $58,035 in drug cost · 81 antibiotic prescriptions to 28 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.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

$125 in 2019

A payment is not proof that care is biased.

Medicare did not publish checkup rates for this clinician.
