What Public CMS Data Show
Surgery - Trauma Surgery: NPPES taxonomy is a reported classification, not proof of board certification.
Medicare-allowed amount
About $17,845 in 2023
The total amount Medicare approved for these services in 2023. It includes what Medicare paid and what patients or their other insurance owed, such as the deductible and coinsurance.
It shows the total cost of this clinician's Original Medicare services under Medicare's fee rules.
What this does not show: Medicare-allowed amount
This is not the clinician's income. Part of it can go to a clinic or group practice, staff, equipment or drugs. It is not the price you will pay.
Source: CMS, Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners โ by Provider and Service, 2023.
Paid by Medicare
About $14,084 in 2023
The part of the Medicare-allowed amount that Medicare itself paid in 2023, after patients' deductibles and coinsurance.
The gap between the allowed amount and this number is roughly what patients and their other insurance paid.
What this does not show: Paid by Medicare
This is not the clinician's income and not a measure of quality.
Source: CMS, Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners โ by Provider and Service, 2023.
Industry payments (Open Payments)
Fewer than 11 payment records totaling $1,500.00 in 2024
Drug and medical device companies must report certain payments to doctors and some other clinicians to CMS, such as meals, travel, speaking fees or research funding.
It shows reported financial ties between this clinician and companies. You can ask your clinician about them.
These records are submitted by drug and medical device companies, and a reported payment does not necessarily mean the financial relationship is improper.
General: payments not tied to research, such as meals, travel, consulting or speaking fees.
A reported payment does not necessarily mean the financial relationship is improper. Research payments can go to a hospital or university for a study the clinician leads, not to the clinician personally. Clinicians can dispute records with the company that reported them.

Years since graduation
14 years (graduated 2012)
CMS Doctors and Clinicians data list 2012 as the year this clinician finished professional school.
It tells you roughly how long ago the clinician finished school.
What this does not show: Years since graduation
It is not the number of years in practice, and more years does not mean better care.

NPI first issued
2014
The year this clinician's National Provider Identifier (NPI) was issued. An NPI is a unique 10-digit ID that US health care providers use for billing.
What this does not show: NPI first issued
NPIs have been issued only since 2005, so this year is not necessarily when the clinician started practicing.
Source: CMS NPPES NPI Registry.
Accepts Medicare assignment
CMS data list this clinician as accepting Medicare assignment. This means agreeing to take the Medicare-approved amount as full payment for covered services.
With Original Medicare, you usually pay only your deductible and coinsurance, and the office sends the claim to Medicare for you.
Medicare assignment applies to Original Medicare. It does not tell you whether the clinician is in a Medicare Advantage plan's network, accepts other insurance, or is taking new patients.

No telehealth indicator
CMS shows this indicator only when recent Medicare claims include telehealth services. The clinician may still offer telehealth; ask the office.
