Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$243,441

Pharmacies billed $243,441 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 509) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical pain management clinician is at 44%.

335 generic and 174 brand-name prescriptions · $243,441 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.
