Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $23,238 of the $28,477 with a category attached, or 81.6%. AbbVie accounts for 91.9% of it on its own, with 20 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $12,158 and has fallen 99.0% since, to $126 in 2025. Among psychiatric/mental health 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 132 payments — averaging $215.73 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs
These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.Austedo | $48 | $129,11317 claims |
| Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc.Rexulti | $201 | $31,98318 claims |
| Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.Trintellix | $29 | $18,99119 claims |
| Almatica Pharma LLCSertraline Hcl | $18 | $19221 claims |
Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 95th percentile of 2,724 psychiatric/mental health providers in Texas.
