Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 132 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 22 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 24.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $1,166 and has fallen 72.5% since, to $320 in 2025.
Across 132 payments — averaging $18.20 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs
These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| Lilly USA, LLCMounjaro, Trulicity | $175 | $54,62947 claims |
| Novo NordiskRybelsus, Ozempic | $300 | $41,93134 claims |
| AstraZenecaBreztri Aerosphere | $296 | $16,02117 claims |
| Boehringer IngelheimTradjenta | $74 | $9,28816 claims |
| AbbVieSynthroid, Armour Thyroid | $586 | $2,60528 claims |
Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 80th percentile of 197 gerontology providers in Georgia.
