Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$3,840

Pharmacies billed $3,840 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 8% of their Part D prescriptions (13 of 159) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical physical medicine and rehabilitation clinician is at 12%.

159 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $3,840 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.
