Medicaid work

$1,430 in 2022

Medicaid paid $1,430 for 12 billed services this clinician did in 2022, 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.

Largest Medicaid services in 2022

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$19,740

Pharmacies billed $19,740 in 2024.

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

465 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $19,740 in drug cost · 20 antibiotic prescriptions to 19 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.
