Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$8,331
Pharmacies billed $8,331 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (14 of 296) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical physician assistant clinician is at 1%.
264 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $8,331 in drug cost · 40 antibiotic prescriptions to 37 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.
