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) |
|---|---|---|
| Aspiration And/Or Injection of Fluid From Large Joint20610 | 116 | $64 |
| Established Patient Office Or Other Outpatient Visit With Low Level OD Decision Making, If Using Time, 20 Minutes Or More99213 | 88 | $84 |

| Prosthetic Repair of Shoulder Joint, Total Shoulder23472 | 12 | $1,322 |
Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $64–$1,322 (2024). The Medicare-allowed amount is what Medicare recognizes for a service under fee-for-service — a reference figure for 2024, 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.

What this provider prescribes (Medicare Part D)
Top drugs by Medicare Part D claim volume, 2024 · 7 distinct drugs on file.
| Drug | Part D claims (2024) | Beneficiaries |
|---|---|---|
| Cephalexin | 50 | 38 |
| Oxycodone Hcl/Acetaminophenbrand: Oxycodone-Acetaminophen | 49 | 33 |
| Meloxicam | 46 | 28 |
| Celecoxib | 33 | 17 |
| Methylprednisolone | 28 | 27 |
| Hydrocodone/Acetaminophenbrand: Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen | 12 | — |
| Promethazine Hcl | 12 | 11 |
These counts cover prescriptions paid through Medicare Part D in 2024 — they include cash-pay, commercial-insurance, Medicaid, or Part B–administered drugs, and badly undercount high cash-pay categories (e.g. GLP-1 weight-loss, testosterone, and ED medications). Any drug with 10 or fewer claims is omitted by CMS, and beneficiary counts under 11 are suppressed — so a missing drug means , never zero. This is a factual claims summary, not an endorsement, not medical advice, and not a consumer report. Source: CMS Medicare Part D Prescribers — by Provider and Drug.
