About this data. The prescription history for DR.

Reading the costs. Drug costs are gross amounts paid to pharmacies under Part D, including both plan and beneficiary payments. They are not the price a patient pays at the pharmacy counter. Medications with fewer than 11 claims are excluded from the federal source data, and state comparisons use the average volume among CO prescribers of the same medication. Always confirm current medications and costs directly with the provider and your plan.
