What this record shows
This record is dominated by education: $125 of the $125 with a category attached, or 100.0%. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc.. That places this record below the midpoint for nephrology clinicians in WI, where the typical reported total is $267.
Across 3 payments — averaging $41.71 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc.$125
Across 57 payments — averaging $2499.48 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.

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.
