Medicaid work

$1,335 in 2024

Medicaid paid $1,335 for 39 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 13 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

$104,567

Pharmacies billed $104,567 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 53% of their Part D prescriptions (709 of 1,346) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%. Long-acting opioids: 36% of their opioid prescriptions.

1,242 generic and 104 brand-name prescriptions · $104,567 in drug cost · 15 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
