Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$63,172

Pharmacies billed $63,172 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (33 of 629) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

563 generic and 66 brand-name prescriptions · $63,172 in drug cost · 25 antibiotic prescriptions to 22 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.
