Medicaid work

$49,969 in 2024

Medicaid paid $49,969 for 476 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 24 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

$14,265

Pharmacies billed $14,265 in 2024.

332 generic and 134 brand-name prescriptions · $14,265 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.
