Reading the Arizona tables

Arizona's 30,663 prescribers wrote 30,410,551 Part D claims in 2024, about $174,786 in drug cost per prescriber. A high total usually reflects specialty practice, such as cancer, rheumatology or HIV care. These are billing tables, not quality ratings. PlainDoctor does not rank named prescribers by opioid share; the state's opioid figures above come from CMS's own totals.
