Medicaid work

$7,891 in 2024

Medicaid paid $7,891 for 508 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 26 people in a month for one service.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$22,714

Pharmacies billed $22,714 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (11 of 282) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hospitalist clinician is at 4%.

228 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $22,714 in drug cost · 25 antibiotic prescriptions to 23 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.
