234 Medicare services, 2024 (ranked within specialty)
Medicare volume is ranked against active providers in the same specialty. Signals a provider has no public data for (e.g. Medicare claims) are left out of the score entirely — never counted as zero — so providers without that data are not penalized. See the full formula and weights in our methodology.
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) |
|---|---|---|
| Therapy Procedure Using Exercise to Develop Strength, Endurance, Range of Motion, and Flexibility, Each 15 Minutes97110 | 73 | $25 |
| Therapy Procedure to Re-Educate Brain-To-Nerve-To-Muscle Function, Each 15 Minutes97112 | 73 | $35 |
| Therapy Procedure Using Manual Technique, Each 15 Minutes97140 | 73 | $23 |
| Evaluation for Physical Therapy, Typically 20 Minutes97161 | 15 | $112 |
Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $23–$112 (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.

What this provider prescribes (Medicare Part D)
Top drugs by Medicare Part D claim volume, 2024 · 4 distinct drugs on file.
| Drug | Part D claims (2024) | Beneficiaries |
|---|---|---|
| Diclofenac Sodium | 31 | 15 |
| Diclofenac Epolamine | 21 | — |
| Doxepin Hcl | 18 | — |
| Lidocaine Hclbrand: Lidocaine Hcl Viscous | 12 | — |
Medicare Part D only. These counts cover prescriptions paid through Medicare Part D in 2024 — they do notinclude 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 no Part D record, 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.
