Medicaid work
$5,343 in 2019
Medicaid paid $5,343 for 146 billed services this clinician did in 2019, up to 12 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
$24,849
Pharmacies billed $24,849 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 6% of their Part D prescriptions (28 of 452) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.
397 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $24,849 in drug cost · 92 antibiotic prescriptions to 73 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.
