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.

  • Sensory organs

    74.6%
    Corticosteroid33.1%
    Prednisolone Acetate100%
    Part D≥33 patients
    Quinolone Antimicrobial32.2%
    Ofloxacin100%
    Part D≥36 patients

    + 1 more class in this area

  • Musculoskeletal

    25.4%
    Cyclooxygenase Inhibitor25.4%
    Ketorolac Tromethamine100%
    Part D≥26 patients
Where care is delivered (Part B)41.6% facility · 58.4% office

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.
