Medicaid work

$19,865 in 2024

Medicaid paid $19,865 for 187 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 16 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

$304,004

Pharmacies billed $304,004 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (47 of 1,466) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical pulmonary disease clinician is at 0%.

1,044 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $304,004 in drug cost · 48 antibiotic prescriptions to 31 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.
