How this compares

$84,064 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 38 physical medicine & rehabilitation providers in Idaho.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$118,828

Medicare patients

144

Services billed

10,958

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.
