Medicaid work

$2,380 in 2024

Medicaid paid $2,380 for 379 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 91 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.

1,454 generic and 750 brand-name prescriptions · $971,484 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.
