Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (37.9%), education and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by Pylant Medical at 35.2% of the total. That places this record below the midpoint for sports medicine clinicians in LA, where the typical reported total is $3,045.

Who reported the general payments

Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

What the payments were tied to

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.

How this compares

$3,409 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 82 sports medicine providers in Louisiana.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$37,306
Medicare patients
175
Services billed
469

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.
