Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$2,184
Pharmacies billed $2,184 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 54% of their Part D prescriptions (158 of 295) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical hand surgery clinician is at 47%.
293 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $2,184 in drug cost · 11 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.
