A missing listing does not mean out of network. Directories change, and a listing does not cover every office. Call Dr. Vollrath’s office at (650) 723-4000 to confirm they take your plan. Ask about the office you use, its medical group, referrals and appointments.

Medicaid work

$185,141 in 2023

Medicaid paid $185,141 for 2,741 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 73 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

$113,743

Pharmacies billed $113,743 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 6% of their Part D prescriptions (67 of 1,081) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%. Long-acting opioids: 24% of their opioid prescriptions.

932 generic and 135 brand-name prescriptions · $113,743 in drug cost · 17 antibiotic prescriptions to 14 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.
