Medicaid work
$5,471 in 2020
Medicaid paid $5,471 for 221 billed services this clinician did in 2020, up to 16 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
$5,189
Pharmacies billed $5,189 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
147 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $5,189 in drug cost · 15 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.
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.
