Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.

Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs

These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.

CompanyPaid to this providerPart D cost of their drugs
Novo NordiskOzempic$577$33,12220 claims
Lilly USA, LLCTrulicity, Mounjaro$495$30,74025 claims
AstraZenecaFarxiga$178$10,78513 claims
AbbVieSynthroid$267$1,59816 claims

Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. There are too few providers in Texason file to place this against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
