Medicaid work
$0 in 2019
Medicaid paid $0 for 52 billed services this clinician did in 2019, up to 29 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.
| Family psychotherapy (without the patient present), 50 minutes | 29 | $0 |
| Family psychotherapy (conjoint psychotherapy) (with patient present), 50 minutes | 23 | $0 |
