Medicare prescribing

What this provider billed to Medicare Part D in 2024, as CMS published it. Medicare Part D only: what they prescribed outside it is not here.

152
Claims
Prescriptions and refills billed to Part D, as CMS counts them.
$497,832
Total drug cost
What Part D, the plan and the patient paid together. Not what this provider was paid — they are paid nothing out of it.
58
Beneficiaries
People with at least one prescription from this provider.
38
Brand-name claims
Of the claims above, those for a brand-name drug.
114
Generic claims
Of the claims above, those for a generic.
not reported
Opioid claims
Claims for an opioid. CMS published no figure for this provider, and there is no suppression marker on this measure — so this is an absent figure rather than a withheld one, and it is not a zero.
11
Antibiotic claims
Claims for an antibiotic.
Hematology-Oncology
Prescriber type
As CMS classifies this prescriber. Credentials: M.D..

A blank is not a zero. CMS withholds a value between 1 and 10, and withholds the next lowest alongside it so the first cannot be worked out by subtraction — so a withheld figure is not even evidence that the number was small. Rows for ten or fewer claims are removed from the file altogether, which is why the parts of a total can be withheld while the total is published.
