Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$1,003
Pharmacies billed $1,003 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 26% of their Part D prescriptions (20 of 76) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.
74 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,003 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.
