Medicaid work

$2,538 in 2024

Medicaid paid $2,538 for 87 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 15 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

$1,053

Pharmacies billed $1,053 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 22% of their Part D prescriptions (20 of 92) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical podiatry clinician is at 5%.

92 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $1,053 in drug cost · 19 antibiotic prescriptions to 13 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.
