Medicaid work
$6,192 in 2024
Medicaid paid $6,192 for 294 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 73 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.
