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.
Nervous system
98%Cholinesterase Inhibitor32.9%Donepezil Hcl83%Rivastigmine17%Part D≥134 patientsN-methyl-D-aspartate Receptor Antagonist28.5%Memantine Hcl92%Memantine Hcl Er8%Part D<11 patients+ 11 more classes in this area
Cardiovascular
2%Statin2%Atorvastatin Calcium100%Part D≥14 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.
NIH funding
