| 2023 | 23 | 37 | 71 | 1.53 | $6,921 | $2,024 |
| 2022 | 18 | 43 | 70 | 1.18 | $5,720 | $2,058 |
Original Medicare only. A service billed for fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden, so the lines can add up to less than the year's total.
Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$1,109,289
Pharmacies billed $1,109,289 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (49 of 1,653) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical rheumatology clinician is at 3%.
1,336 generic and 317 brand-name prescriptions · $1,109,289 in drug cost.
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.
