Medicaid work

$27,861 in 2024

Medicaid paid $27,861 for 367 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 29 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

$35,038

Pharmacies billed $35,038 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (36 of 702) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.

623 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $35,038 in drug cost · 183 antibiotic prescriptions to 121 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.
