Medicaid work

$4,140 in 2022

Medicaid paid $4,140 for 109 billed services this clinician did in 2022, 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

$231

Pharmacies billed $231 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 20) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to judge: with under about 50 a year, a handful of patients can swing this share.

20 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $231 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.
