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)
Established Patient Office Or Other Outpatient Visit With Low Level OD Decision Making, If Using Time, 20 Minutes Or More99213	35	$92
Established Patient Office Or Other Outpatient Visit With Moderate Level of Decision Making, If Using Time, 30 Minutes Or More99214	14	$130
New Patient Office Or Other Outpatient Visit With Moderate Level of Medical Decision Making, If Using Time, 45 Minutes Or More99204	11	$168

Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $92–$168 (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.

$8,803 across 35 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.
