Medicaid work
$1,978 in 2024
Medicaid paid $1,978 for 26 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 14 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
$5,526
Pharmacies billed $5,526 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 46% of their Part D prescriptions (98 of 213) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 34%.
181 generic and 32 brand-name prescriptions · $5,526 in drug cost · 28 antibiotic prescriptions to 16 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.
