Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 9 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Organogenesis Inc. accounts for 60.7% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $105 and has fallen 86.5% since, to $14 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for podiatrist clinicians in KS, where the typical reported total is $853.
Across 9 payments — averaging $19.05 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Organogenesis Inc.$104
- Smith+Nephew$55

Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Organogenesis Inc. | 5 | $104 |
| Smith+Nephew | 3 | $55 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 1 | $12 |
How this compares
$171 in reported general payments places this provider in the 35th percentile of 30 podiatrist providers in Kansas.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Cephalexin | 57 | $439 |
| Clindamycin Hcl | 23 | $134 |
| Amoxicillin-Clavulanate PotassAmoxicillin/Potassium Clav | 13 | $90 |
| Sulfamethoxazole-TrimethoprimSulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim | 12 | $74 |
| Gabapentin | 13 | $59 |
