What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,614 of the $3,332 with a category attached, or 78.4%. 10 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 35.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $2,241 and has fallen 95.0% since, to $112 in 2025.

Across 52 payments — averaging $64.08 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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Abbott | 14 | $1,197 |
| Relievant Medsystems, Inc. | 8 | $1,043 |
| Boston Scientific | 9 | $370 |
| Nevro Corp. | 5 | $288 |
| Avanos Medical | 9 | $219 |
| Medtronic | 1 | $86 |
| Merck | 3 | $55 |
| Pacira Pharmaceuticals Incorporated | 1 | $37 |
| Cumberland Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $23 |
| Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Inc | 1 | $14 |
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.
- Intracept$1,573
- Proclaim IPG$506
- Senza Spinal Cord Stimulation System$120
- GENERAL PAIN MANAGEMENT$117
- PROCLAIM$117
- Omnia$110
How this compares
$3,332 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 48 pain medicine providers in Mississippi.
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.
