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.

How this compares

Too few neuromuscular medicine providers in South Carolinato place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$288,742
Medicare patients
333
Services billed
4,776

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.

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
Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Firdapse$29$510,67612 claims
CSL BehringPrivigen$45$169,69339 claims
Avanir Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Nuedexta$43$30,97020 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. There are too few neuromuscular medicine providers in South Carolinaon file to place this against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
