$7,043 x 2 x 2 x 50 = $1,408,600 But anyway I don't think any of the numbers are unreasonable. These are ballpark estimates, and I'm pretty sure my tympanoplasty was a relatively boring procedure for him, compared to stuff like cochlear implants and other basal skull surgery that he does sometimes. My main point was that I don't think it's unexpected at all for some surgeons to bill several millions to Medicare in a year. They can easily clear several millions already with a very light schedule and, depending on the specialty, some or most of that may be from Medicare patients. Honestly I think there is no story here.
