Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$505,588

Pharmacies billed $505,588 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 2,232) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical cardiology clinician is at 0%.

2,027 generic and 205 brand-name prescriptions · $505,588 in drug cost · 24 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.
