A missing listing does not mean out of network. Directories change, and a listing does not cover every office. Call Dr. Brichard’s office at (415) 476-1000 to confirm they take your plan. Ask about the office you use, its medical group, referrals and appointments.

Medicaid and CHIP claims where this clinician did the service, fee-for-service and managed care together. Any month with fewer than 11 patients is hidden, so small Medicaid practices undercount.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$113,556

Pharmacies billed $113,556 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (45 of 1,340) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%. Long-acting opioids: 73% of their opioid prescriptions.

1,175 generic and 146 brand-name prescriptions · $113,556 in drug cost.

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.
