Medicaid work

$0 in 2023

Medicaid paid $0 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

$112,751

Pharmacies billed $112,751 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 63% of their Part D prescriptions (857 of 1,352) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical anesthesiology clinician is at 0%. Long-acting opioids: 28% of their opioid prescriptions.

1,241 generic and 111 brand-name prescriptions · $112,751 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.
