Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.9% of the total across 599 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 60 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $3,733 and has fallen 74.9% since, to $936 in 2024. Among physician assistant clinicians in CT 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.

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.

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.

CompanyPaid to this providerPart D cost of their drugs
Novo NordiskOzempic$1,666$53,42348 claims
GSKTrelegy Ellipta$1,352$13,15912 claims
Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLCLevothyroxine Sodium$23$23717 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 1,795 physician assistant providers in Connecticut.
