Medicaid work

$744,636 in 2021

Medicaid paid $744,636 for 21,847 billed services this clinician did in 2021, up to 324 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

$233,265

Pharmacies billed $233,265 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (54 of 2,958) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

2,655 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $233,265 in drug cost · 82 antibiotic prescriptions to 57 people · 16 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
