Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$17,364
Pharmacies billed $17,364 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 6% of their Part D prescriptions (17 of 297) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.
252 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $17,364 in drug cost · 65 antibiotic prescriptions to 57 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.
