Medicaid work

Medicaid paid $501,923 for 5,796 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 117 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

$14,748

Pharmacies billed $14,748 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 7% of their Part D prescriptions (22 of 338) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical podiatry clinician is at 5%.

324 generic and 14 brand-name prescriptions · $14,748 in drug cost · 43 antibiotic prescriptions to 34 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.
