Medicaid work
$69 in 2024
Medicaid paid $69 for 111 billed services this clinician did in 2024, 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
$723
Pharmacies billed $723 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 13% of their Part D prescriptions (18 of 139) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.
139 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $723 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.
