Medicaid work
$29,871 in 2024
Medicaid paid $29,871 for 907 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 95 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
$11,406
Pharmacies billed $11,406 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (28 of 880) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical podiatry clinician is at 5%.
863 generic and 17 brand-name prescriptions · $11,406 in drug cost · 122 antibiotic prescriptions to 63 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.
