Medicaid work

$11,783 in 2024

Medicaid paid $11,783 for 136 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 21 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

$2,184

Pharmacies billed $2,184 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 54% of their Part D prescriptions (158 of 295) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical hand surgery clinician is at 47%.

293 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $2,184 in drug cost · 11 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.
