Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $5,574 of the $6,441 with a category attached, or 86.5%. It is spread thinly across 24 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Among adult health clinicians in VA 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 328 payments — averaging $19.64 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$6,441 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 368 adult health providers in Virginia.
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.
