Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$239,198

Pharmacies billed $239,198 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (50 of 3,478) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

3,091 generic and 361 brand-name prescriptions · $239,198 in drug cost · 132 antibiotic prescriptions to 77 people · 30 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
