Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$116,097
Pharmacies billed $116,097 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (11 of 998) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical podiatry clinician is at 5%.
993 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $116,097 in drug cost · 14 antibiotic prescriptions.
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.
