Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$94,289
Pharmacies billed $94,289 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 9% of their Part D prescriptions (86 of 991) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical hospitalist clinician is at 4%.
881 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $94,289 in drug cost · 85 antibiotic prescriptions to 63 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.
