Medicaid work
$18,702 in 2024
Medicaid paid $18,702 for 213 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 23 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
$2,841
Pharmacies billed $2,841 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
68 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $2,841 in drug cost.
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.
