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

$192,750

Pharmacies billed $192,750 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 40% of their Part D prescriptions (1,198 of 2,971) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physical medicine and rehabilitation clinician is at 12%. Long-acting opioids: 26% of their opioid prescriptions.

2,801 generic and 170 brand-name prescriptions · $192,750 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.
