🔎 Data Overview
Opioid prescribing rate is 635% above the average for Nurse Practitioner providers. While some providers legitimately treat pain-heavy populations, deviations of this magnitude are rare and warrant examination.
Prescribes only 4 unique drugs with a 27.8% opioid rate. Very low drug diversity combined with high opioid prescribing is a classic statistical marker of potential pill mill operations. However, some legitimate practices (e.g., addiction treatment with buprenorphine) can show similar patterns.
