Medicaid work

$45,700 in 2024

Medicaid paid $45,700 for 740 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.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$134,173

Pharmacies billed $134,173 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (41 of 1,171) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

1,022 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $134,173 in drug cost · 18 antibiotic prescriptions to 12 people.

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.
