Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$33,224

Pharmacies billed $33,224 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (26 of 496) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

435 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $33,224 in drug cost · 70 antibiotic prescriptions to 55 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.
