Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$3,713
Pharmacies billed $3,713 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
224 generic and 14 brand-name prescriptions · $3,713 in drug cost · 70 antibiotic prescriptions to 66 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.
