Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$44,977

Pharmacies billed $44,977 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 1% of their Part D prescriptions (12 of 1,081) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%.

958 generic and 107 brand-name prescriptions · $44,977 in drug cost · 117 antibiotic prescriptions to 91 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.
