Medicaid paid $2,817 for 42 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 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
$13,870
Pharmacies billed $13,870 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 29) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to compare fairly with other clinicians.
0 generic and 19 brand-name prescriptions · $13,870 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.
