Medicaid work
$102 in 2024
Medicaid paid $102 for 41 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 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
$37,326
Pharmacies billed $37,326 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (11 of 399) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.
360 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $37,326 in drug cost · 86 antibiotic prescriptions to 60 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.
