Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$2,283,168

Pharmacies billed $2,283,168 in 2024. Most of that is three immune-globulin drugs at $13,000–$19,000 a fill for a small number of people.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 406) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical dermatology clinician is at 0%.

264 generic and 142 brand-name prescriptions · $2,283,168 in drug cost · 19 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.
