Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 211 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 45 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 11.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,081 and has fallen 80.7% since, to $209 in 2025.

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.

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

$3,881 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 137 gerontology providers in South Carolina.

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.

CompanyPaid to this providerPart D cost of their drugs
PfizerEliquis$118$46,14956 claims
NovartisEntresto$453$24,93420 claims
MerckVerquvo$144$8,23013 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 85th percentile of 137 gerontology providers in South Carolina.
