Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$583
Pharmacies billed $583 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 56% of their Part D prescriptions (53 of 94) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%.
94 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $583 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.
