Medicaid work
$34,835 in 2024
Medicaid paid $34,835 for 473 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 56 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
$1,361
Pharmacies billed $1,361 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 18% of their Part D prescriptions (26 of 143) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%.
139 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,361 in drug cost · 35 antibiotic prescriptions to 35 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.
