Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$14,552

Pharmacies billed $14,552 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 6% of their Part D prescriptions (13 of 202) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

182 generic and 20 brand-name prescriptions · $14,552 in drug cost · 22 antibiotic prescriptions to 20 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.
