$68,135

Medicare paid this office $68,135 for 415 people.

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

Procedures Medicare counted

Who their Medicare patients are

415 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 76 · Women 57% · Also on Medicaid 4% · Health risk score 0.83. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1.31.

Conditions among them: High blood pressure 75% · Coronary heart disease 26% · Atrial fibrillation 21% · Diabetes 18% · Depression 17% · Chronic kidney disease 16% · Cancer 16% · Heart failure 11% · COPD 5% · Stroke 4%.

The office billed $167,430, Medicare allowed $89,538 and paid $68,135; for 456 services of 25 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.

$27,181

Pharmacies billed $27,181 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 48% of their Part D prescriptions (420 of 873) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

839 generic and 34 brand-name prescriptions · $27,181 in drug cost · 205 antibiotic prescriptions to 163 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.

$107 in 2021

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
