Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$20,107

Pharmacies billed $20,107 in 2024.

This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.

Opioids were 6% of their Part D prescriptions (18 of 314) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%.

279 generic and 35 brand-name prescriptions · $20,107 in drug cost · 46 antibiotic prescriptions to 40 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.
