Medicaid work
$106,011 in 2024
Medicaid paid $106,011 for 622 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 34 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
$28,002
Pharmacies billed $28,002 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 47% of their Part D prescriptions (65 of 138) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 34%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.
112 generic and 26 brand-name prescriptions · $28,002 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.
