Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 19 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 7 manufacturers reported payments, led by Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. at 25.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $246 and has fallen 82.5% since, to $43 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for critical care medicine clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $356.
Across 19 payments — averaging $18.48 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

|---|---|---|
| Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. | 4 | $91 |
| AstraZeneca | 6 | $91 |
| Aurinia Pharma U.S., Inc. | 2 | $47 |

How this compares
$351 in reported general payments places this provider in the 45th percentile of 618 critical care medicine providers in Florida.
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
