Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by education: $7,517 of the $10,526 with a category attached, or 71.4%. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 82.1% of it on its own, with 22 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $8,865 and has fallen 93.9% since, to $543 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in ID 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.

How this compares
$10,526 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 166 obstetrics & gynecology providers in Idaho.
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 |

| Estradiol | 35 | $1,348 |
| Estradiol (Twice Weekly)Estradiol | 11 | $454 |
| ProgesteroneProgesterone, Micronized | 15 | $386 |
| ValacyclovirValacyclovir Hcl | 15 | $151 |
