Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (52.8%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Edwards Lifesciences accounts for 74.4% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $771 and has fallen 83.6% since, to $126 in 2025.
Across 20 payments — averaging $51.79 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$1,036 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 3,899 anesthesiology providers in Texas.
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.
