Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (27 of 623) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 4%.
584 generic and 39 brand-name prescriptions · $12,266 in drug cost · 37 antibiotic prescriptions to 31 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.
