A missing listing does not mean out of network. Directories change, and a listing does not cover every office. Call Dr. Cheng’s office at (408) 851-1000 to confirm they take your plan. Ask about the office you use, its medical group, referrals and appointments.

Medicaid work

$2,861 in 2024

Medicaid paid $2,861 for 119 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

$899

Pharmacies billed $899 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 39) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to compare fairly with other clinicians.

36 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $899 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.
