Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$1,712
Pharmacies billed $1,712 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 56% of their Part D prescriptions (109 of 194) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.
193 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,712 in drug cost · 28 antibiotic prescriptions to 16 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.
