Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 11 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by Astellas Pharma US Inc at 36.4% of the total. That places this record below the midpoint for women's health clinicians in MD, where the typical reported total is $327.
Across 11 payments — averaging $23.14 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

|---|---|---|
| Astellas Pharma US Inc | 4 | $93 |

How this compares
$255 in reported general payments places this provider in the 40th percentile of 95 women's health providers in Maryland.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Levothyroxine Sodium | 18 | $186 |
| Atorvastatin Calcium | 17 | $151 |
| Methylprednisolone | 14 | $95 |
| Amlodipine Besylate | 14 | $95 |
| Amoxicillin-Clavulanate PotassAmoxicillin/Potassium Clav | 12 | $95 |
