Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (42.3%), other and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by Kls-martin L.p. at 30.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $4,050 and has fallen 84.3% since, to $637 in 2025. Among otolaryngology/facial plastic surgery clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 154 payments — averaging $78.31 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Who reported the general payments

Medicare billing
What this is not: this is the amount Original Medicare Part B allowed for services this provider billed in 2024. It is not their income. It excludes Medicare Advantage — now more than half of all Medicare enrollment — along with Medicaid and all commercial insurance, and it is gross practice revenue before staff, rent, supplies and malpractice premiums. CMS also suppresses any figure covering ten or fewer patients, so low-volume providers appear smaller than they are.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Ipratropium Bromide | 49 | $1,655 |
| Doxycycline Hyclate | 16 | $120 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
