Medicaid work

$26,682 in 2020

Medicaid paid $26,682 for 545 billed services this clinician did in 2020, up to 17 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.
