Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$7,039
Pharmacies billed $7,039 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 43% of their Part D prescriptions (117 of 273) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.
267 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $7,039 in drug cost.
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.
