Medicaid work

$11,721 in 2024

Medicaid paid $11,721 for 365 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

$81,833

Pharmacies billed $81,833 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (16 of 448) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hospitalist clinician is at 4%.

351 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $81,833 in drug cost · 69 antibiotic prescriptions to 49 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.
