Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $116,258 of the $131,874 with a category attached, or 88.2%. Novartis accounts for 99.9% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $57,184 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $38 in 2025. Among family medicine clinicians in TX 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.
Across 305 payments — averaging $432.37 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.

| Next Science LLC | 1 | $38 |
| Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $20 |
| Edwards Lifesciences | 1 | $17 |
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.
