Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$742

Pharmacies billed $742 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 58% of their Part D prescriptions (42 of 72) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

69 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $742 in drug cost · 11 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.
