Year by year

Original Medicare only. A service billed for fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden, so the lines can add up to less than the year's total.

$911,386

Pharmacies billed $911,386 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 7% of their Part D prescriptions (382 of 5,823) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%. Long-acting opioids: 10% of their opioid prescriptions.

4,890 generic and 891 brand-name prescriptions · $911,386 in drug cost · 131 antibiotic prescriptions to 86 people · 74 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
