Medicaid work

$3,218 in 2022

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

$183,801

Pharmacies billed $183,801 in 2024.

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

1,727 generic and 236 brand-name prescriptions · $183,801 in drug cost · 53 antibiotic prescriptions to 42 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.
