Medicaid work
$28,449 in 2024
Medicaid paid $28,449 for 6,257 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 391 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
$181,033
Pharmacies billed $181,033 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 814) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical cardiology clinician is at 0%.
670 generic and 144 brand-name prescriptions · $181,033 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.
