Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 37 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 16 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $221 and has fallen 71.3% since, to $63 in 2025.
Across 37 payments — averaging $15.59 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc.$120
- Melinta Therapeutics, LLC$68
- Cumberland Pharmaceuticals, Inc.$55
- Johnson & Johnson$47
- Kerecis Limited$46
- Actelion Pharmaceuticals US, Inc.$42

Across 5 payments — averaging $535.31 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

How this compares
$577 in reported general payments places this provider in the 60th percentile of 3,311 internal medicine 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.
