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) |
|---|---|---|
| Use of a Drug to Induce Depression of Consciousness By Physician Performing a Procedure (5 Years Or Older), Initial 15 Minutes99152 | 51 | $12 |

| Review By Radiologist of Ct Guidance for Needle Placement77012 | 14 | $69 |
| Insertion of Tunneled Central Venous Tube for Infusion (5 Years Or Older)36558 | 11 | $257 |
Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $12–$257 (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.
$19 across 1 record (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.
