Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 2 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. That places this record below the midpoint for neurology clinicians in TN, where the typical reported total is $2,246.
Across 2 payments — averaging $31.23 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Tersera Therapeutics LLC$37
- Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC$25
Across 85 payments — averaging $20,916 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.$859K
- Genentech, Inc.$715K
- Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc.$161K
- AbbVie$42K
- F. Hoffmann-la Roche AG$711
What the payments were for

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Tersera Therapeutics LLC | 1 | $37 |
| Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC | 1 | $25 |
How this compares
$62 in reported general payments places this provider in the 15th percentile of 361 neurology providers in Tennessee.
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.
