Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $6,982 of the $8,219 with a category attached, or 84.9%. It is spread thinly across 44 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 21.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $5,900, more than ten times the $118 reported in 2021. Among nurse practitioner clinicians in SC with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 331 payments — averaging $24.83 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
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
$8,219 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 1,346 nurse practitioner providers in South Carolina.
