Medicaid work

$980 in 2023

Medicaid paid $980 for 12 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 12 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

$72,747

Pharmacies billed $72,747 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 65% of their Part D prescriptions (672 of 1,035) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical physical medicine and rehabilitation clinician is at 12%. Long-acting opioids: 27% of their opioid prescriptions.

975 generic and 60 brand-name prescriptions · $72,747 in drug cost.

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.
