Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$18,875

Pharmacies billed $18,875 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 31% of their Part D prescriptions (239 of 777) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

773 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $18,875 in drug cost · 213 antibiotic prescriptions to 155 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.
