What this record shows

Who reported the general payments

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$1,496

Medicare patients

Services billed

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
Nitrofurantoin Mono-MacroNitrofurantoin Monohyd/M-Cryst	32	$271
Cephalexin	27	$96
Tamsulosin Hcl	12	$84
Ciprofloxacin Hcl	18	$57
Sulfamethoxazole-TrimethoprimSulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim	25	$50
Oxycodone Hcl	19	$25
