Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$17,220
Pharmacies billed $17,220 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
231 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $17,220 in drug cost · 71 antibiotic prescriptions to 48 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.
