Medicaid work

$12,423 in 2024

Medicaid paid $12,423 for 569 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 55 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

$382,284

Pharmacies billed $382,284 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 1,694) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical interventional cardiology clinician is at 0%.

1,346 generic and 348 brand-name prescriptions · $382,284 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.
