Reporting peaked in 2021 at $263 and has fallen 92.0% since, to $21 in 2025.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$186,748
Medicare patients
370
Services billed
4,168

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.
