Medicaid work
$1,321 in 2020
Medicaid paid $1,321 for 18 billed services this clinician did in 2020, up to 17 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.
| Return visit (30+ min) | 18 | $1,321 |
| 2020 | 18 | 1 | 17 | $1,321 |
| 2019 | 17 | 1 | 13 | $988 |

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$39,512
Pharmacies billed $39,512 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 656) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%.
601 generic and 55 brand-name prescriptions · $39,512 in drug cost · 15 antibiotic prescriptions to 14 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.
