Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $8,533 of the $12,446 with a category attached, or 68.6%. 15 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 44.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $4,888 and has fallen 51.9% since, to $2,353 in 2025. Among neurocritical care clinicians in TX 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.
Across 134 payments — averaging $92.88 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$12,446 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 46 neurocritical care providers in Texas.
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.
