Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $3,000 of the $4,741 with a category attached, or 63.3%. Merck accounts for 70.6% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $3,083 and has fallen 93.5% since, to $199 in 2023. Among geriatric medicine clinicians in PR 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 12 payments — averaging $395.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Merck | 6 | $3,347 |
| AbbVie | 2 | $1,218 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 2 | $126 |
| Amgen | 1 | $27 |
| Boehringer Ingelheim | 1 | $23 |
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
$4,741 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 76 geriatric medicine providers in Puerto Rico.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Boehringer IngelheimJardiance, Trijardy Xr, Jentadueto | $23 | $46,88268 claims |
| AbbVieSynthroid, Lumigan | $1,218 | $15,240135 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 76 geriatric medicine providers in Puerto Rico.
