Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.8% of the total across 58 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 11 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $441 and has fallen 78.9% since, to $93 in 2025.

How this compares

Too few addiction psychiatry providers in North Carolinato place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$12,179

Medicare patients

Services billed

125

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.
