A missing listing does not mean out of network. Directories change, and a listing does not cover every office. Call Dr. Vedantam’s office at (408) 241-3801 to confirm they take your plan. Ask about the office you use, its medical group, referrals and appointments.

Medicaid work

$4,955 in 2021

Medicaid paid $4,955 for 213 billed services this clinician did in 2021, up to 18 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

$68,563

Pharmacies billed $68,563 in 2024.

907 generic and 100 brand-name prescriptions · $68,563 in drug cost · 67 antibiotic prescriptions to 51 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.
