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
$179,483
Pharmacies billed $179,483 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (17 of 1,218) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.
975 generic and 243 brand-name prescriptions · $179,483 in drug cost · 296 antibiotic prescriptions to 160 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.
