Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $6,500 of the $8,661 with a category attached, or 75.0%. Alcon accounts for 85.5% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $4,573 and has fallen 73.5% since, to $1,211 in 2024. Among optometrist clinicians in WA 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.

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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$30,800
Medicare patients
144
Services billed
236

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.
