Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$25,179

Pharmacies billed $25,179 in 2024.

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

396 generic and 75 brand-name prescriptions · $25,179 in drug cost · 36 antibiotic prescriptions to 31 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.
