Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$2,240
Pharmacies billed $2,240 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 33% of their Part D prescriptions (37 of 111) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical anesthesiology clinician is at 0%. Long-acting opioids: 32% of their opioid prescriptions.
109 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $2,240 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.
| Gabapentin | 11 | $246 | $22 |
| Pregabalin | 15 | $163 | $11 |
| Oxycodone | 16 | $152 | $10 |
