Medicaid work

$8,076 in 2024

Medicaid paid $8,076 for 1,125 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 132 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.
