Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$5,166
Pharmacies billed $5,166 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 19% of their Part D prescriptions (20 of 105) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.
93 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $5,166 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.
| Clopidogrel | 21 | $130 | $6 |
