Medicaid work

$25,759 in 2024

Medicaid paid $25,759 for 1,375 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 75 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

$307,041

Pharmacies billed $307,041 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (15 of 2,040) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%.

1,586 generic and 399 brand-name prescriptions · $307,041 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.
