Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$216,837

Pharmacies billed $216,837 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 67% of their Part D prescriptions (1,940 of 2,895) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%. Long-acting opioids: 3% of their opioid prescriptions.

2,701 generic and 194 brand-name prescriptions · $216,837 in drug cost.

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.
