Geriatric Medicine in New Hampshire

Across 16 geriatric medicine clinicians in New Hampshire who billed Original Medicare Part B in 2024, Medicare allowed $1,431,389 in total — an average of $89,462 each, of which $85,490 was for services and the rest for drugs administered in the office.

This is not a salary. The rest is what Medicare allowed for services these clinicians billed — Original Medicare fee-for-service only. It excludes Medicare Advantage, which now covers more than half of Medicare enrollees, along with Medicaid and every commercial insurer, so for most clinicians it is a fraction of their practice. It is also gross revenue: staff, rent, supplies and malpractice premiums all come out of it before anyone is paid. Anyone quoting a figure like this as physician pay is misreading it.
