Medicare prescribing footprint (2022)
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
59.7%ACE inhibitor24.7%Lisinopril100%Part D<11 patientsStatin20.8%Atorvastatin Calcium100%Part D<11 patientsMetabolism & gastrointestinal
23.4%Proton pump inhibitor23.4%Omeprazole100%Part D<11 patientsBlood & clotting
16.9%Erythropoiesis-stimulating Agent16.9%Procrit100%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.
