What this provider prescribes (Medicare Part D)
Top drugs by Medicare Part D claim volume, 2024 · 7 distinct drugs on file.
| Drug | Part D claims (2024) | Beneficiaries |
|---|---|---|
| Tramadol Hcl | 41 | 32 |
| Ondansetronbrand: Ondansetron Odt | 38 | 37 |
| Oxycodone Hcl | 38 | 35 |
| Pantoprazole Sodium | 30 | 30 |
| Celecoxib | 22 | 22 |
| Cefadroxil | 14 | 14 |
| Meloxicam | 13 | 11 |
These counts cover prescriptions paid through Medicare Part D in 2024 — they include cash-pay, commercial-insurance, Medicaid, or Part B–administered drugs, and badly undercount high cash-pay categories (e.g. GLP-1 weight-loss, testosterone, and ED medications). Any drug with 10 or fewer claims is omitted by CMS, and beneficiary counts under 11 are suppressed — so a missing drug means , never zero. This is a factual claims summary, not an endorsement, not medical advice, and not a consumer report. Source: CMS Medicare Part D Prescribers — by Provider and Drug.
Transparency — industry payments
Based on CMS Open Payments, 2024; not all care is captured.
$6,276 across 6 records (Open Payments 2024)
Open Payments discloses payments and transfers of value (meals, travel, consulting, research, royalties) from drug and device makers to providers. This is a transparency signal, not a verdict — such payments are legal and common, and their presence is neither an endorsement nor a criticism. Source: CMS Open Payments, program year 2024.
