Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows

That places this record below the midpoint for pain medicine clinicians in OK, where the typical reported total is $1,721.

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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Argenx US, Inc. | 1 | $96 |
| Pylant Medical | 3 | $90 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 1 | $59 |

How this compares
$383 in reported general payments places this provider in the 20th percentile of 68 pain medicine providers in Oklahoma.
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.

| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Gabapentin | 271 | $3,517 |
