⚠️

Opioid prescribing rate is 756% above the average for Nurse Practitioner providers. While some providers legitimately treat pain-heavy populations, deviations of this magnitude are rare and warrant examination.

⚠️

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.
