Medicaid work

$39,092 in 2024

Medicaid paid $39,092 for 1,935 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 64 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

$9,001

Pharmacies billed $9,001 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 43% of their Part D prescriptions (227 of 531) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.

511 generic and 20 brand-name prescriptions · $9,001 in drug cost · 76 antibiotic prescriptions to 62 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.
