Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$51,619

Pharmacies billed $51,619 in 2024.

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

1,073 generic and 79 brand-name prescriptions · $51,619 in drug cost · 12 antibiotic prescriptions to 11 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.
