About this data. The prescription history for MATTHEW B.

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.

Always confirm current medications and costs directly with the provider and your plan.
