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
77.9%Beta blocker57.8%Metoprolol Succinate81%Carvedilol8%Metoprolol Tartrate7%Sotalol4%Part D<11 patientsAntiarrhythmic14.6%Flecainide Acetate63%Dofetilide37%Part D<11 patients+ 2 more classes in this area
Blood & clotting

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.
