Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $80,041 of the $119,227 with a category attached, or 67.1%. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by THD America, Inc. at 54.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $53,563, more than ten times the $4,102 reported in 2019. Among colon & rectal surgery clinicians in GA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

How this compares
$119,227 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 66 colon & rectal surgery providers in Georgia.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Neomycin Sulfate | 21 | $98 |
| Hydrocodone-AcetaminophenHydrocodone/Acetaminophen | 11 | $61 |
| Metronidazole | 25 | $38 |
