Medicaid work
$1,035 in 2023
Medicaid paid $1,035 for 14 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 14 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
$1,014
Pharmacies billed $1,014 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 33% of their Part D prescriptions (24 of 73) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical neurosurgery clinician is at 28%.
72 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,014 in drug cost.
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.
| Gabapentin | 21 | $341 | $11 |
| Acetaminophen-Codeine | 14 | $59 | $4 |
