Medicaid work
$11,578 in 2024
Medicaid paid $11,578 for 223 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 23 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
$556,614
Pharmacies billed $556,614 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 221) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical infectious disease clinician is at 0%.
94 generic and 127 brand-name prescriptions · $556,614 in drug cost · 41 antibiotic prescriptions to 13 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.
