Medicare prescribing footprint (2024)

The drugs this prescriber writes for Medicare patients, grouped by drug class and therapeutic area. Every percentage is a share of their total prescribing, so you can see what they prescribe most. These are proportions, not patient counts or dollar amounts. No condition is inferred: the claims record what was prescribed, never why.

  • Cardiovascular

    50%
    Angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB)50%
    Losartan Potassium100%
    Part D<11 patients

  • Musculoskeletal

    50%
    Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug50%
    Naproxen100%
    Part D<11 patients

Drug classes come from the WHO ATC and U.S. National Library of Medicine (RxClass) classifications; prescribing counts come from the CMS Medicare Part D Prescribers file. Each drug is counted once, under its primary class. Medicare fee-for-service only, so no Medicare Advantage, commercial, or pediatric prescribing is included. CMS publishes this data about 17 months after the fact.
