Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$870
Pharmacies billed $870 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.

40 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $870 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.
