Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$3,196

Pharmacies billed $3,196 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 18% of their Part D prescriptions (59 of 338) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopedic surgery clinician is at 31%.

334 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $3,196 in drug cost · 189 antibiotic prescriptions to 170 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.
