How this compares

Too few interventional cardiology providers in District of Columbiato place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$378,306

Medicare patients

658

Services billed

1,207

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

Drug	Claims	Cost to plans & patients
ClopidogrelClopidogrel Bisulfate	90	$1,085
Metoprolol Succinate	40	$694
Furosemide	37	$140
Atorvastatin Calcium	14	$106
Prednisone	13	$25

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
