$23,405 in 2024

Medicaid paid $23,405 for 274 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 31 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

$12,266

Pharmacies billed $12,266 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (27 of 623) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 4%.

584 generic and 39 brand-name prescriptions · $12,266 in drug cost · 37 antibiotic prescriptions to 31 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.
