Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$2,318
Pharmacies billed $2,318 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 38% of their Part D prescriptions (101 of 265) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical neurosurgery clinician is at 28%.
264 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $2,318 in drug cost.
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.
