What the federal data shows for Rhode Island
1,171 clinicians in Rhode Island prescribed Ozempic to Medicare Part D patients in 2024, across 35,399 claims. That is the most-prescribed GLP-1 in the state by prescriber count. Part D covers Medicare only, so the figure is a floor on prescribing in Rhode Island rather than a total.
Rhode Island Medicaid reimbursed $13,295,420.90 for 12,298 GLP-1 prescriptions in Q1 2026, or $1,081.10 per prescription. From CMS State Drug Utilization, fee-for-service and managed care combined. Suppressed cells are excluded, never counted as zero.
No outsourcing facility registered under section 503B gives a Rhode Island address in the FDA register. A compounded prescription filled for a Rhode Island patient is dispensed from a facility registered elsewhere.
