Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$12,700

Pharmacies billed $12,700 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 5% of their Part D prescriptions (18 of 371) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical otolaryngology clinician is at 4%.

299 generic and 72 brand-name prescriptions · $12,700 in drug cost · 20 antibiotic prescriptions to 17 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.
