CMS reports a program year at a time and also publishes its own total across them, which is what the figures above are. These rows are that total taken apart, not a second set of payments.

CMS’s file covers 2019–2025. It holds no payments to Robert McKenna in 2019–2020 and 2022–2025.

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.

54
Claims
Prescriptions and refills billed to Part D, as CMS counts them.
$955
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.
32
Beneficiaries
People with at least one prescription from this provider.
Withheld
Brand-name claims
Of the claims above, those for a brand-name drug. CMS withheld this value and marked it "*". It publishes two markers and two reasons — a value between 1 and 10, or one withheld so another cannot be worked out — without saying which marker means which.
53
Generic claims
Of the claims above, those for a generic.
19
Opioid claims
CMS puts this provider's opioid prescribing rate at 35.18518518518518% of their claims. That is their figure, computed from their own unsuppressed data.
not reported
Antibiotic claims
Claims for an antibiotic.
Physician Assistant
Prescriber type
As CMS classifies this prescriber. Credentials: PA.

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.
