Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $6,875 of the $7,950 with a category attached, or 86.5%. Organon accounts for 88.5% of it on its own, with 16 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $7,074 and has fallen 95.4% since, to $327 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in AR 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 64 payments — averaging $124.21 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
$7,950 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 272 obstetrics & gynecology providers in Arkansas.
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.
