Medicaid work

$24,489 in 2024

Medicaid paid $24,489 for 936 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 49 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

$25,443

Pharmacies billed $25,443 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 16% of their Part D prescriptions (12 of 74) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical interventional radiology clinician is at 0%.

41 generic and 33 brand-name prescriptions · $25,443 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.
