Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (46.5%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 66.2% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $1,063 and has fallen 79.7% since, to $216 in 2025.
Across 38 payments — averaging $43.62 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year

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.
- Da Vinci Surgical System$1,066
How this compares
$1,658 in reported general payments places this provider in the 55th percentile of 85 obstetrics providers in Texas.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Estradiol | 31 | $1,264 |
| Medroxyprogesterone Acetate | 14 | $160 |
