🔎 Data Overview
Average opioid rate of 10.3% is above the national average. This may reflect the patient population served rather than overprescribing.
Average brand-name prescribing rate of 37.4% is notably high. While some specialties require brand-name medications without generic alternatives, higher brand rates increase costs to Medicare and patients.
Average cost per provider of $1,530,022 is exceptionally high, reflecting this specialty's use of expensive medications. High per-provider costs in specialties like oncology or rheumatology often reflect legitimate clinical needs.
11 providers (1.3% of the specialty) have been flagged for atypical prescribing. Our model compares providers to their specialty peers, so these outliers deviate from their own group's norms.
