Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$870,076

Pharmacies billed $870,076 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 6% of their Part D prescriptions (77 of 1,243) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical rheumatology clinician is at 3%.

1,080 generic and 163 brand-name prescriptions · $870,076 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.
