Medicaid work

$63,764 in 2024

Medicaid paid $63,764 for 1,324 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

$391,124

Pharmacies billed $391,124 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (32 of 2,068) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical nephrology clinician is at 0%.

1,636 generic and 421 brand-name prescriptions · $391,124 in drug cost · 56 antibiotic prescriptions to 38 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.
