136 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,917 in drug cost · 94 antibiotic prescriptions to 86 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.
