$160,010
Pharmacies billed $160,010 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
347 generic and 138 brand-name prescriptions · $160,010 in drug cost · 21 antibiotic prescriptions to 17 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.
