Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $95 of the $121 with a category attached, or 78.8%. Alcon accounts for 78.8% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. That places this record below the midpoint for ophthalmology clinicians in WA, where the typical reported total is $767.
Across 5 payments — averaging $24.18 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Alcon$95
- Rxsight Inc$26
What the payments were for
- Speaking & faculty fees$2621%
- Food & beverage$9579%
Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Alcon | 4 | $95 |
| Rxsight Inc | 1 | $26 |
How this compares
$121 in reported general payments places this provider in the 20th percentile of 428 ophthalmology providers in Washington.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Prednisolone Acetate | 33 | $1,040 |
| Ofloxacin | 21 | $283 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
