Year by year
| 2024 | 270 | 510 | 78 | 0.96 | $174,076 | $35,267 |
| 2023 | 11 | 11 | 78 | 1.00 | $4,589 | $1,052 |
Original Medicare only. A service billed for fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden, so the lines can add up to less than the year's total.
Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$62,106
Pharmacies billed $62,106 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
719 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $62,106 in drug cost · 72 antibiotic prescriptions to 59 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.
