Medicaid work

$9,441 in 2024

Medicaid paid $9,441 for 762 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 36 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.

Pharmacies billed $1,206,604 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (470 of 24,982) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hospitalist clinician is at 4%. Long-acting opioids: 15% of their opioid prescriptions.

22,253 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,206,604 in drug cost · 417 antibiotic prescriptions to 141 people · 609 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
