Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$5,661

Pharmacies billed $5,661 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 43% of their Part D prescriptions (118 of 275) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.

269 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $5,661 in drug cost · 63 antibiotic prescriptions to 47 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.
