Medicaid work

$0 in 2023

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

$76,532

Pharmacies billed $76,532 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (19 of 982) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

827 generic and 124 brand-name prescriptions · $76,532 in drug cost · 133 antibiotic prescriptions to 91 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.
