Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$1,170

Pharmacies billed $1,170 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 20% of their Part D prescriptions (15 of 77) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 4%.

76 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,170 in drug cost · 13 antibiotic prescriptions to 12 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.
