Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$895
Pharmacies billed $895 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 31% of their Part D prescriptions (54 of 174) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.
165 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $895 in drug cost · 44 antibiotic prescriptions to 28 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.
