What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,174 of the $1,358 with a category attached, or 86.5%. It is spread thinly across 25 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. That places this record below the midpoint for obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in AL, where the typical reported total is $1,456.
Across 75 payments — averaging $18.10 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$1,358 in reported general payments places this provider in the 45th percentile of 537 obstetrics & gynecology providers in Alabama.
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
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Estradiol (Twice Weekly)Estradiol | 13 | $1,250 |
| Estradiol | 43 | $955 |
| Estradiol (Once Weekly)Estradiol | 11 | $639 |
| Sertraline Hcl | 11 | $200 |
| Alendronate Sodium | 20 | $145 |
| Medroxyprogesterone Acetate | 13 | $142 |
