Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$14,266

Pharmacies billed $14,266 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 23% of their Part D prescriptions (129 of 563) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.

557 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $14,266 in drug cost · 124 antibiotic prescriptions to 71 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.
