Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$40,047
Pharmacies billed $40,047 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 7% of their Part D prescriptions (19 of 260) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%.
226 generic and 34 brand-name prescriptions · $40,047 in drug cost · 14 antibiotic prescriptions to 11 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.
