Medicaid work

$11,581 in 2018

Medicaid paid $11,581 for 23 billed services this clinician did in 2018, 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.
