Medicaid work

$40,520 in 2024

Medicaid paid $40,520 for 546 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 41 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

$2,547

Pharmacies billed $2,547 in 2024.

233 generic and 16 brand-name prescriptions · $2,547 in drug cost · 97 antibiotic prescriptions to 88 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.
