Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$1,292,892

Pharmacies billed $1,292,892 in 2024.

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

Opioids were 4% of their Part D prescriptions (21 of 547) in 2024. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical nurse practitioner clinician is at 0%.

363 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $1,292,892 in drug cost · 42 antibiotic prescriptions to 16 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.
