⚠️ Opioid + Benzodiazepine Co-Prescriber
This provider prescribes both opioids and benzodiazepines. The FDA has issued a Black Box Warning about the life-threatening risks of concurrent use.
🔎 Data Overview
This provider appears on the federal OIG exclusion list, meaning they have been formally barred from participating in federal healthcare programs due to fraud, patient abuse, licensing issues, or other misconduct. The fact that they still appear in active prescribing data is a significant concern.
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.
