Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$7,707
Pharmacies billed $7,707 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 12% of their Part D prescriptions (18 of 157) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.
145 generic and 12 brand-name prescriptions · $7,707 in drug cost · 59 antibiotic prescriptions to 56 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.
