⚠️

Risk scores are statistical indicators based on prescribing patterns compared to specialty peers. They are NOT allegations of fraud, misconduct, or improper care. Many legitimate medical reasons can explain outlier prescribing.

⚠️ Opioid + Benzodiazepine Co-Prescriber

This provider prescribes both opioids and benzodiazepines. The FDA has issued a Black Box Warning about the life-threatening risks of concurrent use.

🔎 Data Overview

🤖

Our machine learning model — trained on 281 confirmed fraud cases — gives this provider a "Very High" fraud-pattern score. All 20 decision trees in our ensemble model agree that this provider's prescribing patterns resemble those of confirmed fraud cases. This is a statistical finding, not an accusation.

💰

Cost per patient is 515% above the specialty average. Extreme cost outliers may indicate prescribing of unnecessarily expensive brand-name drugs or inappropriate drug utilization.

⚠️

This provider co-prescribes opioids and benzodiazepines — a combination carrying an FDA Black Box Warning due to increased risk of respiratory depression and death. While sometimes clinically necessary, this combination requires careful justification.
