Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$67,965

Pharmacies billed $67,965 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (35 of 1,129) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical geriatric medicine clinician is at 2%.

1,004 generic and 125 brand-name prescriptions · $67,965 in drug cost · 17 antibiotic prescriptions · 34 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.
