Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $10,684 of the $12,040 with a category attached, or 88.7%. It is spread thinly across 27 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 21.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $2,643 and has fallen 61.9% since, to $1,008 in 2025. Among anesthesiology clinicians in KY with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 149 payments — averaging $80.81 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
$12,040 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 514 anesthesiology providers in Kentucky.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Gabapentin | 60 | $589 |
| Duloxetine Hcl | 33 | $196 |
| Cyclobenzaprine Hcl | 21 | $100 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
