Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 117 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,693, more than ten times the $12 reported in 2021.

$2,588in general payments, 2019–2025

Across 117 payments — averaging $22.12 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.

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.

How this compares

$2,588 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 15,456 family providers in Texas.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$14,655
Medicare patients
77
Services billed
132

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.
