Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$230

Pharmacies billed $230 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 51% of their Part D prescriptions (23 of 45) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to compare fairly with other clinicians.

45 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $230 in drug cost · 12 antibiotic prescriptions to 11 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.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
