Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$1,994,600

Pharmacies billed $1,994,600 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (13 of 649) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical medical oncology clinician is at 6%.

503 generic and 146 brand-name prescriptions · $1,994,600 in drug cost · 45 antibiotic prescriptions to 19 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.
