Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$203,191

Pharmacies billed $203,191 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (18 of 2,767) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.

2,501 generic and 255 brand-name prescriptions · $203,191 in drug cost · 36 antibiotic prescriptions to 35 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.
