Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$34,259

Pharmacies billed $34,259 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 23% of their Part D prescriptions (43 of 191) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical urology clinician is at 2%.

147 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $34,259 in drug cost · 35 antibiotic prescriptions to 33 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.
