🔎 Data Overview

⚠️

Opioid prescribing rate is 1,248% above the average for Neurology providers. While some providers legitimately treat pain-heavy populations, deviations of this magnitude are rare and warrant examination.

💰

Cost per patient is 940% above the specialty average. Extreme cost outliers may indicate prescribing of unnecessarily expensive brand-name drugs or inappropriate drug utilization.
