Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$77,548

Pharmacies billed $77,548 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 2% of their Part D prescriptions (18 of 932) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.

848 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $77,548 in drug cost · 20 antibiotic prescriptions to 15 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.
