Medicaid work
$46,405 in 2024
Medicaid paid $46,405 for 862 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 41 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
$68,677
Pharmacies billed $68,677 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (26 of 787) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical hospitalist clinician is at 4%.
676 generic and 98 brand-name prescriptions · $68,677 in drug cost · 68 antibiotic prescriptions to 57 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.
