Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$2,119
Pharmacies billed $2,119 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 19% of their Part D prescriptions (58 of 307) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical podiatry clinician is at 5%.
306 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $2,119 in drug cost · 65 antibiotic prescriptions to 41 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.
