Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$114,132

Pharmacies billed $114,132 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (35 of 1,259) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.

1,054 generic and 205 brand-name prescriptions · $114,132 in drug cost · 102 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.
