Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$372

Pharmacies billed $372 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 80% of their Part D prescriptions (45 of 56) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.

54 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $372 in drug cost.

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.
