Medicaid work
$1,925 in 2021
Medicaid paid $1,925 for 785 billed services this clinician did in 2021, up to 89 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
$63,238
Pharmacies billed $63,238 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 641) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%.
608 generic and 33 brand-name prescriptions · $63,238 in drug cost · 91 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.
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.
