Medicaid work

$173 in 2023

Medicaid paid $173 for 12 billed services this clinician did in 2023, up to 12 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

$3,437,685

Pharmacies billed $3,437,685 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 13% of their Part D prescriptions (260 of 2,075) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%. Long-acting opioids: 30% of their opioid prescriptions.

1,722 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $3,437,685 in drug cost · 61 antibiotic prescriptions to 42 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.
