Reading the Wyoming tables
Wyoming's 2,212 prescribers wrote 2,146,957 Part D claims in 2024, about $119,585 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.
