Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$5,309

Pharmacies billed $5,309 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 27% of their Part D prescriptions (37 of 139) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.

128 generic and 11 brand-name prescriptions · $5,309 in drug cost · 53 antibiotic prescriptions to 43 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.
