Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $16,975 of the $22,644 with a category attached, or 75.0%. AbbVie accounts for 87.7% of it on its own, with 24 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $12,770 and has fallen 95.3% since, to $599 in 2025. Among psychiatry clinicians in TN 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.

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs
These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| AbbVieVraylar | $19,858 | $23,64017 claims |
| Almatica Pharma LLCSertraline Hcl | $13 | $34644 claims |
Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 95th percentile of 503 psychiatry providers in Tennessee.
