Medicaid work
$33,189 in 2019
Medicaid paid $33,189 for 498 billed services this clinician did in 2019, up to 65 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.
| Service | 424 | $24,462 |
| Miscellaneous therapeutic items and supplies, retail purchases, not otherwise classified; identify product in "remarks" | 29 | $8,260 |

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$4,265
Pharmacies billed $4,265 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 7% of their Part D prescriptions (11 of 170) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.
147 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $4,265 in drug cost · 59 antibiotic prescriptions to 54 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.
