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
$7,413
Pharmacies billed $7,413 in 2024.

316 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $7,413 in drug cost · 61 antibiotic prescriptions to 54 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.
