The office billed $28,737, Medicare allowed $8,984 and paid $6,627; for 72 services of 7 kinds.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$109,793

Pharmacies billed $109,793 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 845) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.

658 generic and 174 brand-name prescriptions · $109,793 in drug cost · 17 antibiotic prescriptions to 17 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.
