Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,760 of the $5,503 with a category attached, or 86.5%. It is spread thinly across 30 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $2,087 and has fallen 74.6% since, to $531 in 2025. Among medical clinicians in LA 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 237 payments — averaging $23.22 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.

- Senza$132
- Omnia$123
How this compares
$5,503 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 253 medical providers in Louisiana.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Tizanidine Hcl | 34 | $297 |
| Gabapentin | 19 | $218 |
| Cyclobenzaprine Hcl | 22 | $127 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
