Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$44,909
Pharmacies billed $44,909 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.

202 generic and 32 brand-name prescriptions · $44,909 in drug cost · 16 antibiotic prescriptions to 14 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.
