A missing listing does not mean out of network. Directories change, and a listing does not cover every office. Call Dr. Cheung’s office at (415) 409-1367 to confirm they take your plan. Ask about the office you use, its medical group, referrals and appointments.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$4,900

Pharmacies billed $4,900 in 2024.

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

23 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $4,900 in drug cost.

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.
