Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$7,476

81 generic and 15 brand-name prescriptions · $7,476 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.
