Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$18,617
Pharmacies billed $18,617 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 16% of their Part D prescriptions (24 of 151) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.
140 generic and 11 brand-name prescriptions · $18,617 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.
