Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $493 of the $618 with a category attached, or 79.8%. AbbVie accounts for 71.0% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $237 and has fallen 66.8% since, to $79 in 2025. Among infectious disease clinicians in WV with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$124,962
Medicare patients
495
Services billed
1,165

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.
