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) |
|---|---|---|
| Removal of Polyps Or Growths of Large Bowel Using an Endoscope With Mechanical Snare45385 | 35 | $519 |
| Colorectal Cancer Screening; Colonoscopy on Individual Not Meeting Criteria for High RiskG0121 | 30 | $356 |
| Biopsy of Esophagus, Stomach, And/Or Upper Small Bowel Using a Flexible Endoscope43239 | 24 | $398 |
| Biopsy of Large Bowel Using a Flexible Endoscope45380 | 22 | $426 |
| Blood Glucose (sugar) Test Performed By Hand-Held Instrument82962 | 17 | $3 |
Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $3–$519 (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 · 3 distinct drugs on file.
| Drug | Part D claims (2024) | Beneficiaries |
|---|---|---|
| Omeprazole | 101 | 54 |
| Peg3350/Sod Sulf,bicarb,cl/Kclbrand: Gavilyte-C | 46 | 45 |
| Famotidine | 15 | — |
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.
Transparency — industry payments
Based on CMS Open Payments, 2024; not all care is captured.
$7,342 across 4 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.
