Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$86,305

Pharmacies billed $86,305 in 2024.

455 generic and 97 brand-name prescriptions · $86,305 in drug cost · 16 antibiotic prescriptions.

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.
