Medicaid work
$126,274 in 2024
Medicaid paid $126,274 for 3,125 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 180 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
$4,603
Pharmacies billed $4,603 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 11% of their Part D prescriptions (34 of 320) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 12%.
302 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $4,603 in drug cost · 112 antibiotic prescriptions to 89 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.
