Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$18,493
Pharmacies billed $18,493 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (12 of 237) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.
201 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $18,493 in drug cost · 27 antibiotic prescriptions to 25 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.
