🔎 Data Overview
Average opioid prescribing rate of 26.7% is significantly elevated. While some specialties (pain management, anesthesiology) legitimately prescribe opioids at high rates, this figure deserves context about the specialty's typical patient population.
Average brand-name prescribing rate of 22.9% is notably high. While some specialties require brand-name medications without generic alternatives, higher brand rates increase costs to Medicare and patients.
