Medicaid work

$449 in 2024

Medicaid paid $449 for 41 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 16 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

$19,286

Pharmacies billed $19,286 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 6% of their Part D prescriptions (14 of 255) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical hospitalist clinician is at 4%.

211 generic and 44 brand-name prescriptions · $19,286 in drug cost · 38 antibiotic prescriptions to 35 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.
