A missing listing does not mean out of network. Directories change, and a listing does not cover every office. Call Dr. Cohen’s office at (650) 696-5400 to confirm they take your plan. Ask about the office you use, its medical group, referrals and appointments.

Original Medicare doctor bills

$203,574

Medicare paid this office $203,574 for 698 people. Most of that is long return visits and Botox.

Medicaid work

$689 in 2023

Medicaid paid $689 for 13 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 13 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

$376,002

Pharmacies billed $376,002 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (78 of 4,004) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical neurology clinician is at 0%. Long-acting opioids: 24% of their opioid prescriptions.

3,835 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $376,002 in drug cost · 84 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.
