🔎 Data Overview

💰

Cost per patient is 901% above the specialty average. Extreme cost outliers may indicate prescribing of unnecessarily expensive brand-name drugs or inappropriate drug utilization.

⚠️

This provider co-prescribes opioids and benzodiazepines — a combination carrying an FDA Black Box Warning due to increased risk of respiratory depression and death. While sometimes clinically necessary, this combination requires careful justification.
