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

    98.3%
    Statin37.7%
    Atorvastatin Calcium56%Rosuvastatin Calcium39%Pravastatin Sodium4%
    Part D<11 patients
    Cholesterol absorption inhibitor17.7%
    Ezetimibe100%
    Part D≥67 patients

    + 8 more classes in this area

  • Metabolism & gastrointestinal

    1.7%
    GLP-1 receptor agonist1.7%
    Ozempic100%
    Part D<11 patients
Where care is delivered (Part B)75.4% facility · 24.6% 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.
