Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$772,256

Pharmacies billed $772,256 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (234 of 6,953) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%. Long-acting opioids: 11% of their opioid prescriptions.

6,004 generic and 892 brand-name prescriptions · $772,256 in drug cost · 101 antibiotic prescriptions to 64 people · 35 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
