Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 13 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 10 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 21.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $128, 6.1 times the $21 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for neurology clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $2,170.

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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$385,313
Medicare patients
655
Services billed
3,729

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.
