Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 13 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 11 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 17.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $471 and has fallen 93.6% since, to $30 in 2025. Among anatomic pathology & clinical pathology clinicians in IA 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.

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.

What the payments were tied to

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.

How this compares

$1,261 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 46 anatomic pathology & clinical pathology providers in Iowa.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$102,758
Medicare patients
1,067
Services billed
3,098

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.
