Medicaid work

$7,968 in 2024

Medicaid paid $7,968 for 207 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 26 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

$5,414

Pharmacies billed $5,414 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 9% of their Part D prescriptions (25 of 280) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

247 generic and 33 brand-name prescriptions · $5,414 in drug cost · 88 antibiotic prescriptions to 78 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.
