Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.3% of the total across 158 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 22 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 24.1% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,230, more than ten times the $67 reported in 2022. Among physician assistant clinicians in CT with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 158 payments — averaging $18.80 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- AbbVie$717
- Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.$649
- Phathom Pharmaceuticals, Inc.$265

What the payments were for
- Food & beverage$2,91898%
- Education$522%
Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
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.
How this compares
$2,970 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 1,795 physician assistant providers in Connecticut.
Medicare billing
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.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| AbbVieLinzess | $717 | $100,979116 claims |
| Salix Pharmaceuticals, A Division Of Bausch Health US, LLCXifaxan | $197 | $73,46322 claims |
| Aimmune Therapeutics, Inc.Zenpep | $29 | $33,83612 claims |
| Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.Dexilant | $649 | $14,85417 claims |
| Braintree Laboratories, Inc.Sutab | $17 | $6,73941 claims |
| Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc.Clenpiq | $112 | $2,07111 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 90th percentile of 1,795 physician assistant providers in Connecticut.
