Medicaid work
$5,339 in 2024
Medicaid paid $5,339 for 359 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 24 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
$17,501
Pharmacies billed $17,501 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (11 of 304) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical nephrology clinician is at 0%.
270 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $17,501 in drug cost · 38 antibiotic prescriptions to 31 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.
