Medicaid work

$139 in 2023

Medicaid paid $139 for 12 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 12 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

$9,138

Pharmacies billed $9,138 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 19% of their Part D prescriptions (80 of 414) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

394 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $9,138 in drug cost · 187 antibiotic prescriptions to 156 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.
