What this provider does (Medicare)
Based on Medicare fee-for-service claims, 2024; not all care is captured.
| Service (HCPCS) | Medicare services | Typical Medicare-allowed (2024) |
|---|---|---|
| Repair of Mitral Valve With Artificial Valve on Heart-Lung Machine33426 | 25 | $1,070 |
| Radical Reconstruction of Mitral Valve on Heart-Lung Machine33427 | 19 | $821 |
| Coronary Artery Bypass Using Artery Graft, 1 Graft33533 | 15 | $1,729 |
| Partial Destruction and Reconstruction of Right Upper Heart Chamber33257 | 11 | $233 |
| Harvest of Vein Using an Endoscope33508 | 11 | $16 |
Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $16–$1,729 (2024). The Medicare-allowed amount is what Medicare recognizes for a service under fee-for-service — a reference figure for 2024, not a price quote and not what you would be billed. Medicare Part B covers roughly an eighth of all NPIs (65+ skew); services with fewer than 11 beneficiaries are suppressed by CMS.

Transparency — industry payments
Based on CMS Open Payments, 2024; not all care is captured.
$8,913 across 20 records (Open Payments 2024)
Open Payments discloses payments and transfers of value (meals, travel, consulting, research, royalties) from drug and device makers to providers. This is a transparency signal, not a verdict — such payments are legal and common, and their presence is neither an endorsement nor a criticism. Source: CMS Open Payments, program year 2024.
