A missing listing does not mean out of network. Directories change, and a listing does not cover every office. Call Dr. Matar’s office at (650) 723-4000 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

$389

Pharmacies billed $389 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 30% of their Part D prescriptions (17 of 57) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical orthopaedic surgery clinician is at 18%.

57 generic and 0 brand-name prescriptions · $389 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.
