How this compares

$549,896 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 46 interventional cardiology providers in West Virginia.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$273,119

Medicare patients

1,237

Services billed

3,248

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.
