Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 278) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%.

268 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $12,383 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.
