Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$20,840
Pharmacies billed $20,840 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 383) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical psychiatry & neurology clinician is at 0%.
355 generic and 28 brand-name prescriptions · $20,840 in drug cost · 50 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.
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.
