Medicare-allowed amount

About $254,992 in 2024

The total amount Medicare approved for these services in 2024. It includes what Medicare paid and what patients or their other insurance owed, such as the deductible and coinsurance.

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.

30-day fills

1,723 standardized 30-day fills in 2024

CMS converts prescriptions to 30-day supplies so they can be compared. A 90-day prescription counts as about three 30-day fills.

$426,072 in 2024

Years since graduation

16 years (graduated 2010)

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.

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.

Source: CMS Doctors and Clinicians; Medicare.gov, โ€œDoes your provider accept Medicare as full payment?โ€

Guide: What Medicare assignment means

No telehealth indicator

CMS shows this indicator only when recent Medicare claims include telehealth services. The clinician may still offer telehealth; ask the office.

CMS lists Erin Howard as eligible to order or refer Medicare Part B clinical laboratory and imaging services, durable medical equipment (DME) and home health services for people with Medicare.
