Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$53,937
Pharmacies billed $53,937 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 37% of their Part D prescriptions (348 of 939) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.
830 generic and 109 brand-name prescriptions · $53,937 in drug cost · 23 antibiotic prescriptions to 21 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.
