Medicaid work

$6,397 in 2024

Medicaid paid $6,397 for 307 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 43 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.

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

Opioids were 0% of their 15 Part D prescriptions in 2019. Too few prescriptions to judge: with under about 50 a year, a handful of patients can swing this share.

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.
