Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,215 of the $4,974 with a category attached, or 84.8%. It is spread thinly across 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,811 and has fallen 74.2% since, to $466 in 2025.
Across 105 payments — averaging $47.37 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

- AbbVie$587
- Eyepoint US, Inc.$498
- Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc.$466
- Alimera Sciences, Inc.$362

Across 3 payments — averaging $25,063 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Roche TCRC, Inc.$75K
What the payments were for
- Travel & lodging$66913%
- Food & beverage$4,21585%

Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
General payments by program year

How this compares
Too few retina specialist providers in Arkansasto place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Prednisolone Acetate | 139 | $5,696 |
| Ketorolac Tromethamine | 25 | $649 |
| Dorzolamide-TimololDorzolamide Hcl/Timolol Maleat | 35 | $506 |
| Timolol Maleate | 38 | $462 |
| Atropine Sulfate | 14 | $438 |
| ValacyclovirValacyclovir Hcl | 11 | $275 |
| Neomycin-Polymyxin-DexamethNeomycin/Polymyxin B/Dexametha | 23 | $241 |
