Medicaid work

$238,023 in 2024

Medicaid paid $238,023 for 3,859 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 108 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

$187,020

Pharmacies billed $187,020 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (102 of 1,985) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.

1,761 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $187,020 in drug cost · 34 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.
