Medicaid work
$33,028 in 2024
Medicaid paid $33,028 for 685 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 77 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.
