Original Medicare patients only. A risk score of 1.0 is the average Medicare patient; higher means sicker. Any count under 11 is hidden.

Medicaid work

$8,559 in 2022

Medicaid paid $8,559 for 221 billed services this clinician did in 2022, up to 22 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

$761

Pharmacies billed $761 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 20% of their Part D prescriptions (13 of 66) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 4%.

65 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $761 in drug cost · 22 antibiotic prescriptions to 18 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.

Largest Part D drug costs
Cephalexin11$59$5
