Medicaid work

$184,277 in 2024

Medicaid paid $184,277 for 2,450 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 47 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

$26,270

Pharmacies billed $26,270 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 746) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

685 generic and 61 brand-name prescriptions · $26,270 in drug cost · 44 antibiotic prescriptions to 26 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.
