Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$3,249

Pharmacies billed $3,249 in 2024.

149 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $3,249 in drug cost · 42 antibiotic prescriptions to 34 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.
