What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $2,128 of the $2,445 with a category attached, or 87.1%.

That places this record below the midpoint for surgical critical care clinicians in AZ, where the typical reported total is $2,445.

Medicare billing
What this is not: this is the amount Original Medicare Part B allowed for services this provider billed in 2024. It is not their income. It excludes Medicare Advantage — now more than half of all Medicare enrollment — along with Medicaid and all commercial insurance, and it is gross practice revenue before staff, rent, supplies and malpractice premiums. CMS also suppresses any figure covering ten or fewer patients, so low-volume providers appear smaller than they are.
