Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$41,280

Pharmacies billed $41,280 in 2024.

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

232 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $41,280 in drug cost · 44 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.

Levothyroxine24$347$14
Fluticasone Propionate11$254$23
Albuterol Sulfate Hfa11$207$19
