Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$3,447

Pharmacies billed $3,447 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 57% of their Part D prescriptions (118 of 206) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical vascular surgery clinician is at 11%.

204 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $3,447 in drug cost · 27 antibiotic prescriptions to 13 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.
