Medicaid work
$7,807 in 2024
Medicaid paid $7,807 for 368 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 42 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.
