Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,005 of the $5,387 with a category attached, or 74.3%. It is spread thinly across 26 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.4%. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $2,224 and has fallen 59.9% since, to $892 in 2025. Among physical medicine & rehabilitation clinicians in SC 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 144 payments — averaging $37.41 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Pregabalin | 18 | $881 |
| Gabapentin | 84 | $670 |
| Nabumetone | 55 | $489 |
| Baclofen | 14 | $363 |
| Cephalexin | 11 | $327 |
| Hydrocodone-AcetaminophenHydrocodone/Acetaminophen | 18 | $233 |
| Tramadol Hcl | 54 | $217 |
| Celecoxib | 16 | $149 |
