Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by education: $12,000 of the $16,287 with a category attached, or 73.7%. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 93.2% of it on its own, with 19 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $11,506 and has fallen 96.4% since, to $416 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in NC 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 81 payments — averaging $201.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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 | 16 | $1,090 |
| Clobetasol Propionate | 20 | $574 |
| Solifenacin Succinate | 11 | $32 |
