Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$801,223

Pharmacies billed $801,223 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 2,443) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical cardiology clinician is at 0%.

1,854 generic and 589 brand-name prescriptions · $801,223 in drug cost · 15 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.
