Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,587 of the $5,483 with a category attached, or 83.7%. It is spread thinly across 28 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,759, 2.7 times the $663 reported in 2019. Among optometrist clinicians in UT 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.
Across 188 payments — averaging $29.16 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year

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
$5,483 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 423 optometrist providers in Utah.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Latanoprost | 39 | $238 |
| Dorzolamide Hcl | 11 | $115 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
