Medicaid work

$11,510 in 2024

Medicaid paid $11,510 for 785 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 27 people in a month for one service.

Medicaid and CHIP claims where this clinician did the service, fee-for-service and managed care together. Any month with fewer than 11 patients is hidden, so small Medicaid practices undercount.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$14,105

Pharmacies billed $14,105 in 2024.

This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.

Opioids were 9% of their Part D prescriptions (20 of 227) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.

198 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $14,105 in drug cost · 49 antibiotic prescriptions to 39 people.

Part D prescriptions only. The opioid rate is opioid prescriptions as a share of all this clinician's Part D prescriptions; surgeons and pain specialists run higher than others, so it is shown against the same specialty.
