Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$848

Pharmacies billed $848 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 37% of their Part D prescriptions (23 of 62) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.

61 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $848 in drug cost · 19 antibiotic prescriptions to 17 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.
