Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$3,120
Pharmacies billed $3,120 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
188 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $3,120 in drug cost · 96 antibiotic prescriptions to 82 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.
