Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$3,400
Pharmacies billed $3,400 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 63% of their Part D prescriptions (137 of 218) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical general surgery clinician is at 34%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.
201 generic and 17 brand-name prescriptions · $3,400 in drug cost · 32 antibiotic prescriptions to 19 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.
