Medicaid work

$12,292 in 2024

Medicaid paid $12,292 for 985 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 50 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

$24,272

Pharmacies billed $24,272 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (12 of 235) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

191 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $24,272 in drug cost · 36 antibiotic prescriptions to 28 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.
