Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$1,344

Pharmacies billed $1,344 in 2024.

93 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $1,344 in drug cost · 23 antibiotic prescriptions to 22 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.
