Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (49.9%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 71.1% of it on its own, with 19 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,715 and has fallen 77.1% since, to $392 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in WV 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 195 payments — averaging $23.73 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Who reported the general payments

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.

Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |

| Montelukast Sodium | 12 | $161 |
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Lilly USA, LLCHumalog | $12 | $3,30611 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 207 pediatrics providers in West Virginia.
