Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$24,835
Pharmacies billed $24,835 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (12 of 383) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.
339 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $24,835 in drug cost · 21 antibiotic prescriptions to 16 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.
