A missing listing does not mean out of network. Directories change, and a listing does not cover every office. Call Dr. Acostamadiedo’s office at (844) 387-5337 to confirm they take your plan. Ask about the office you use, its medical group, referrals and appointments.

Medicaid work

$45,989 in 2024

Medicaid paid $45,989 for 324 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 34 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

$76,265

Pharmacies billed $76,265 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 145) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

133 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $76,265 in drug cost · 19 antibiotic prescriptions to 17 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.
