Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — other (59.2%), food and beverage and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 12 manufacturers reported payments, led by Baxter Healthcare at 59.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $1,706 and has fallen 95.0% since, to $86 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for endocrinology, diabetes & metabolism clinicians in NV, where the typical reported total is $4,060.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$3,980
Medicare patients
21
Services billed
29

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.

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.

Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs

These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.

CompanyPaid to this providerPart D cost of their drugs
Lilly USA, LLCTrulicity$29$125,542100 claims
Boehringer IngelheimJardiance, Tradjenta, Synjardy$112$66,14990 claims
Novo NordiskOzempic$154$47,58242 claims

Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 45th percentile of 75 endocrinology, diabetes & metabolism providers in Nevada.
