Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dr. Kennedy experienced with extensive or complicated wound repair?
Based on Medicare claims data, Dr. Kennedy performed 13 extensive or complicated wound repair services. These records cover Medicare fee-for-service activity, including eligible younger beneficiaries; they do not measure total practice volume or clinical quality.
Does Dr. Kennedy receive payments from pharmaceutical companies?
Yes. Dr. Kennedy received a total of $12,634 from 16 companies across 75 payment records. A record can group multiple payments. These transfers are publicly disclosed through CMS Open Payments. Disclosure alone does not establish their legality or effect on care.

How do Dr. Kennedy's costs compare to other foot & ankle surgery podiatrists in Detroit?
Dr. Kennedy's average Medicare payment per service is $343. Note that these figures represent what Medicare pays, not your out-of-pocket cost, which depends on your specific insurance plan and deductible. Procedure-level data above shows both what was submitted and what Medicare paid for each service type.
What does Data Coverage mean?
Data Coverage (currently Very High for Dr. Kennedy) measures how much public federal data is available about a provider. It is not a quality rating. A "Very High" or "High" level means the provider has data across multiple federal sources (NPPES, PECOS, Medicare Utilization, Open Payments), indicating the presence of registry, enrollment, activity or payment records, not verified experience or clinical quality. A "Low" or "Moderate" level may simply mean the provider is newer, does not see Medicare patients, or has not received any industry payments — none of which are inherently negative.
