Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$174,266
Pharmacies billed $174,266 in 2024.

958 generic and 166 brand-name prescriptions · $174,266 in drug cost · 250 antibiotic prescriptions to 172 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.
