Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $42,085 of the $48,597 with a category attached, or 86.6%. Optinose US, Inc. accounts for 95.9% of it on its own, with 12 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $19,300 and has fallen 99.3% since, to $144 in 2024. Among facial plastic surgery clinicians in TX 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.

How this compares
$48,597 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 42 facial plastic surgery providers in Texas.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Mometasone Furoate | 58 | $2,293 |
| Ipratropium Bromide | 12 | $220 |
| Clindamycin Hcl | 11 | $142 |
| Fluticasone Propionate | 12 | $73 |
