Medicaid work

$137,000 in 2024

Medicaid paid $137,000 for 2,769 billed services this clinician did in 2024, up to 112 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

$3,240

Pharmacies billed $3,240 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (18 of 350) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%.

335 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $3,240 in drug cost · 164 antibiotic prescriptions to 152 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.
