Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$258,834

Pharmacies billed $258,834 in 2024.

441 generic and 488 brand-name prescriptions · $258,834 in drug cost · 74 antibiotic prescriptions to 49 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.
