Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$5,895
Pharmacies billed $5,895 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 27% of their Part D prescriptions (103 of 381) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical oral surgery (dentist only) clinician is at 22%. Surgeons prescribe little besides pain medicine after an operation, so their opioid share runs high.
380 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $5,895 in drug cost · 152 antibiotic prescriptions to 118 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.
