Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$13,344
Pharmacies billed $13,344 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 12% of their Part D prescriptions (41 of 343) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.
313 generic and 30 brand-name prescriptions · $13,344 in drug cost · 48 antibiotic prescriptions to 37 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.
