This is what Medicare paid the clinician — not Medicare Advantage, and not the pharmacy.

Year by year

Original Medicare only. A service billed for fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden, so the lines can add up to less than the year's total.

$17,656

Pharmacies billed $17,656 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 6% of their Part D prescriptions (11 of 182) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical hospitalist clinician is at 4%.

151 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $17,656 in drug cost · 39 antibiotic prescriptions to 35 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.

Year by year

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.
