Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 95.3% of the total across 177 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 12 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 21.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,472, 8.2 times the $180 reported in 2022. Among psychiatric/mental health clinicians in DC 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 177 payments — averaging $22.32 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc.Abilify Maintena, Rexulti | $862 | $94,05242 claims |
| Johnson & JohnsonInvega Sustenna | $804 | $37,64515 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 95th percentile of 137 psychiatric/mental health providers in District of Columbia.
