Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$12,652

Pharmacies billed $12,652 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 27% of their Part D prescriptions (81 of 300) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

289 generic and 11 brand-name prescriptions · $12,652 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.
