Medicaid work
$2,366 in 2020
Medicaid paid $2,366 for 76 billed services this clinician did in 2020, up to 20 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
$600
Pharmacies billed $600 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 48% of their Part D prescriptions (24 of 50) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.
50 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $600 in drug cost.
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.
