Medicaid paid $40,457 for 959 billed services this clinician did in 2019, up to 171 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
$4,569
Pharmacies billed $4,569 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
221 generic and 20 brand-name prescriptions · $4,569 in drug cost · 128 antibiotic prescriptions to 120 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.
