$17,099 in 2024

Medicaid paid $17,099 for 413 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 37 people in a month for one service.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$2,598

Pharmacies billed $2,598 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 11% of their Part D prescriptions (21 of 185) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 12%.

175 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $2,598 in drug cost · 68 antibiotic prescriptions to 61 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.

Largest Part D drug costs
Cephalexin30$219$7
