Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$75,856

Pharmacies billed $75,856 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 3% of their Part D prescriptions (25 of 940) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical family practice clinician is at 2%. Long-acting opioids: 44% of their opioid prescriptions.

816 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $75,856 in drug cost · 32 antibiotic prescriptions to 26 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.
