Medicaid work

$7,244 in 2024

Medicaid paid $7,244 for 7,303 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 100 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

$268,764

Pharmacies billed $268,764 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (36 of 3,457) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

2,900 generic and 535 brand-name prescriptions · $268,764 in drug cost · 57 antibiotic prescriptions to 40 people · 225 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
