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.

$545,126

Pharmacies billed $545,126 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (14 of 4,829) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

4,206 generic and 592 brand-name prescriptions · $545,126 in drug cost · 104 antibiotic prescriptions to 74 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.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.
