Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$9,048

Pharmacies billed $9,048 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 35% of their Part D prescriptions (70 of 201) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical radiation oncology clinician is at 11%. Long-acting opioids: 20% of their opioid prescriptions.

187 generic and 14 brand-name prescriptions · $9,048 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.
