Most of these Medicare Part D claims are vaccines, 97% of the cost of the top drugs

  2. Specialty average1,380

Most prescribed

Pharmacies often give vaccines under a standing order that names one clinician, and CMS counts every such claim under that clinician's NPI. These claims are therefore not a measure of this clinician's own prescribing.

  2. Ondansetron Odt14 claims
  3. Abrysvo12 claims
  4. Cyclobenzaprine Hcl12 claims
