Medicaid work

$914 in 2024

Medicaid paid $914 for 28 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 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

$108,407

Pharmacies billed $108,407 in 2024.

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

1,525 generic and 180 brand-name prescriptions · $108,407 in drug cost · 365 antibiotic prescriptions to 63 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.
