Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$60,406

Pharmacies billed $60,406 in 2024.

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

274 generic and 54 brand-name prescriptions · $60,406 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.
