Medicaid work

$130 in 2023

Medicaid paid $130 for 179 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 18 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

$2,704

Pharmacies billed $2,704 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 48% of their Part D prescriptions (60 of 124) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.

121 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $2,704 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.

Largest Part D drug costs
Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen41$286$7
Ibuprofen22$176$8
