Medicaid paid $25,372 for 372 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 23 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
$33,224
Pharmacies billed $33,224 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (26 of 496) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.
435 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $33,224 in drug cost · 70 antibiotic prescriptions to 55 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.
