🔎 Data Overview
💊
Average opioid rate of 18.5% is above the national average. This may reflect the patient population served rather than overprescribing.
💰
Average brand-name prescribing rate of 66.3% is notably high. While some specialties require brand-name medications without generic alternatives, higher brand rates increase costs to Medicare and patients.
