Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $3,031 of the $4,928 with a category attached, or 61.5%. Eisai Inc. accounts for 79.5% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among family medicine clinicians in FL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 53 payments — averaging $92.99 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
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.

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.
How this compares
$4,928 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 7,282 family medicine providers in Florida.
