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.

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.
