These rate the hospital, not this clinician. Most measures at most hospitals are no different from the national rate.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$15,424

Pharmacies billed $15,424 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 13% of their Part D prescriptions (26 of 201) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

190 generic and 11 brand-name prescriptions · $15,424 in drug cost · 12 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.
