Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$164,783

Pharmacies billed $164,783 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (76 of 1,583) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical nephrology clinician is at 0%.

1,363 generic and 191 brand-name prescriptions · $164,783 in drug cost · 20 antibiotic prescriptions to 13 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.
