Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$8,538

Pharmacies billed $8,538 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 399) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical geriatric medicine clinician is at 2%.

399 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $8,538 in drug cost · 79 antipsychotic prescriptions to people over 65.

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.
