What this record shows

AbbVie accounts for 72.4% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $460 and has fallen 91.3% since, to $40 in 2025.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$9,883

Medicare patients

112

Services billed

182

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.
