Medicaid work

$7 in 2021

Medicaid paid $7 for 15 billed services this clinician did in 2021, up to 15 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

$118,639

Pharmacies billed $118,639 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 744) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

561 generic and 183 brand-name prescriptions · $118,639 in drug cost · 326 antibiotic prescriptions to 191 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.
