Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$6,360

Pharmacies billed $6,360 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 14% of their Part D prescriptions (102 of 709) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical dentist clinician is at 0%.

709 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $6,360 in drug cost · 288 antibiotic prescriptions to 171 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.
