Original Medicare patients only. A risk score of 1.0 is the average Medicare patient; higher means sicker. Any count under 11 is hidden.

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

Opioids were 0% of their 42 Part D prescriptions in 2021. Too few prescriptions to judge: with under about 50 a year, a handful of patients can swing this share.

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.
