Medicaid work

$111,382 in 2024

Medicaid paid $111,382 for 3,214 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 227 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

$592,659

Pharmacies billed $592,659 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 1,784) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical cardiac surgery clinician is at 0%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.

1,308 generic and 476 brand-name prescriptions · $592,659 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.
