Medicaid work
$31,739 in 2019
Medicaid paid $31,739 for 283 billed services this clinician did in 2019, up to 43 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
$2,648,974
Pharmacies billed $2,648,974 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (14 of 1,086) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hematology-oncology clinician is at 5%.
829 generic and 257 brand-name prescriptions · $2,648,974 in drug cost · 14 antibiotic prescriptions · 20 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.
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.
