Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$436

Pharmacies billed $436 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 89% of their Part D prescriptions (59 of 66) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical general surgery clinician is at 34%.

66 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $436 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.
