Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

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

Opioids were 9% of their 207 Part D prescriptions in 2017. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.
