Medicaid work
$3,496 in 2023
Medicaid paid $3,496 for 123 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 29 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
$87,642
Pharmacies billed $87,642 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (12 of 1,337) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.
1,206 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $87,642 in drug cost · 57 antibiotic prescriptions to 43 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.
