Medicaid work
$4,921 in 2024
Medicaid paid $4,921 for 207 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 20 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
$99,897
Pharmacies billed $99,897 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 74% of their Part D prescriptions (589 of 795) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical anesthesiology clinician is at 0%. Long-acting opioids: 16% of their opioid prescriptions.
753 generic and 42 brand-name prescriptions · $99,897 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.
