Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$11,503

Pharmacies billed $11,503 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 8% of their Part D prescriptions (26 of 316) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical emergency medicine clinician is at 12%.

279 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $11,503 in drug cost · 67 antibiotic prescriptions to 59 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.
