Medicaid work

$17,090 in 2024

Medicaid paid $17,090 for 144 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 22 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

$187,525

Pharmacies billed $187,525 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (75 of 5,024) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

4,546 generic and 446 brand-name prescriptions · $187,525 in drug cost · 144 antibiotic prescriptions to 95 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.
