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	17	$74

Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $74–$74 (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.

$22 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.
