Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$474

Pharmacies billed $474 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 40) in 2024. Too few prescriptions to compare fairly with other clinicians.

32 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $474 in drug cost · 28 antibiotic prescriptions to 26 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.
