What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 4 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 4 manufacturers reported payments, led by GE HealthCare at 37.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $27 and has fallen 50.5% since, to $13 in 2023.

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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| GE HealthCare | 1 | $27 |
| Bayer | 1 | $20 |
| Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $13 |
| Myovant Sciences Inc. | 1 | $12 |
How this compares
$73 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 448 diagnostic radiology providers in Alabama.
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.
