Medicaid work

$3,355 in 2024

Medicaid paid $3,355 for 72 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 16 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

$114,445

Pharmacies billed $114,445 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (41 of 2,497) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

2,229 generic and 234 brand-name prescriptions · $114,445 in drug cost · 43 antibiotic prescriptions to 33 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.
