Medicare Part D, 2024
Counts include only clinicians with 11 or more claims of a drug — CMS does not publish smaller counts, so the real number is higher. These are Medicare prescriptions. A clinician counted here is not necessarily treating weight loss, accepting new patients, or able to prescribe for you.
Which specialties prescribe
