Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $63,341 of the $82,803 with a category attached, or 76.5%. 60 manufacturers reported payments, led by Lilly USA, LLC at 40.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $29,470 and has fallen 89.6% since, to $3,077 in 2025. Among neurology clinicians in TX with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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

$82,803 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 1,246 neurology providers in Texas.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$375,776
Medicare patients
268
Services billed
61,476

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.

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.

Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs

These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.

CompanyPaid to this providerPart D cost of their drugs
AbbVieUbrelvy, Qulipta$32,608$102,05872 claims
PfizerNurtec Odt$285$36,94922 claims
Upsher-smith Laboratories LLCTopiramate$425$13021 claims

Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 90th percentile of 1,246 neurology providers in Texas.
