Medicaid work
$34,120 in 2024
Medicaid paid $34,120 for 1,199 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 92 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
$13,436
Pharmacies billed $13,436 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
89 generic and 17 brand-name prescriptions · $13,436 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.
