Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$3,631

Pharmacies billed $3,631 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 24% of their Part D prescriptions (139 of 588) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical oral surgery (dentist only) clinician is at 22%.

588 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $3,631 in drug cost · 189 antibiotic prescriptions to 146 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.
