Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$132,885

Pharmacies billed $132,885 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (31 of 1,503) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

1,302 generic and 168 brand-name prescriptions · $132,885 in drug cost · 57 antibiotic prescriptions to 23 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.
