A missing listing does not mean out of network. Directories change, and a listing does not cover every office. Call Dr. Erickson’s office at (408) 851-1000 to confirm they take your plan. Ask about the office you use, its medical group, referrals and appointments.

Medicaid work

$0 in 2023

Medicaid paid $0 for 15 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 15 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

$5,756

Pharmacies billed $5,756 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 462) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical ophthalmology clinician is at 0%.

457 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $5,756 in drug cost · 11 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.

Largest Part D drug costs
Neomycin-Polymyxin-Dexameth217$3,783$12
