Medicaid work

$13,662 in 2024

Medicaid paid $13,662 for 2,628 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 28 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

$142,377

Pharmacies billed $142,377 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 2,559) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 0%.

1,578 generic and 981 brand-name prescriptions · $142,377 in drug cost · 16 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.
