Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$260

Pharmacies billed $260 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 68% of their Part D prescriptions (25 of 37) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to compare fairly with other clinicians.

37 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $260 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.
