Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$22,689

Pharmacies billed $22,689 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 28% of their Part D prescriptions (123 of 433) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.

427 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $22,689 in drug cost · 92 antibiotic prescriptions to 83 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.
