Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$878,138

Pharmacies billed $878,138 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 1,104) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical dermatology clinician is at 0%.

902 generic and 202 brand-name prescriptions · $878,138 in drug cost · 43 antibiotic prescriptions to 14 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.
