Medicaid work

Medicaid paid $1,234 for 43 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 17 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

$172,259

Pharmacies billed $172,259 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 318) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical critical care (intensivists) clinician is at 0%.

122 generic and 196 brand-name prescriptions · $172,259 in drug cost · 28 antibiotic prescriptions to 18 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.
