Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 15 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Alkermes, Inc. accounts for 79.5% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. That places this record below the midpoint for psychiatry clinicians in LA, where the typical reported total is $554.
Across 15 payments — averaging $27.55 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Alkermes, Inc. | 9 | $328 |
| Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $34 |
| Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. | 1 | $18 |
| Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. | 1 | $13 |
| Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. | 1 | $12 |
| AbbVie | 2 | $8 |
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.
- ARISTADA$907
- ARISTADA INITIO$227
How this compares
$413 in reported general payments places this provider in the 45th percentile of 474 psychiatry providers in Louisiana.
