Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$2,829

Pharmacies billed $2,829 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 18% of their Part D prescriptions (33 of 186) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 12%.

174 generic and 12 brand-name prescriptions · $2,829 in drug cost · 58 antibiotic prescriptions to 47 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.
