AbbVie accounts for 70.9% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $581 and has fallen 71.3% since, to $167 in 2025.

How this compares

Too few otolaryngology/facial plastic surgery providers in Coloradoto place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$210,819

Medicare patients

295

Services billed

1,215

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.

Most prescribed under Part D
