Medicaid work

$216 in 2024

Medicaid paid $216 for 176 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 44 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

$110,598

Pharmacies billed $110,598 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (12 of 1,416) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.

1,170 generic and 168 brand-name prescriptions · $110,598 in drug cost · 21 antibiotic prescriptions to 19 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.
