The office billed $11,009, Medicare allowed $4,381 and paid $3,491; for 46 services of 6 kinds.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$10,569
Pharmacies billed $10,569 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 8% of their Part D prescriptions (13 of 156) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.
132 generic and 24 brand-name prescriptions · $10,569 in drug cost · 21 antibiotic prescriptions to 17 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.
