This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,330 of the $3,840 with a category attached, or 86.7%. It is spread thinly across 33 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 14.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $1,121 and has fallen 71.5% since, to $319 in 2025.
Across 188 payments — averaging $20.43 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Who reported the general payments

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.

- Omnia$118
- Senza$116
- V-GO$103
How this compares
$3,840 in reported general payments places this provider in the 80th percentile of 250 medical 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.
