What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 6 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 3 manufacturers reported payments, led by Baxter Healthcare at 51.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $101 and has fallen 74.9% since, to $25 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for acute care clinicians in NV, where the typical reported total is $282.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Baxter Healthcare | 2 | $135 |
| Advanced Respiratory, Inc | 3 | $101 |
| Biowound Solutions, Inc. | 1 | $25 |
How this compares
$261 in reported general payments places this provider in the 40th percentile of 129 acute care providers in Nevada.
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.
