Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $528 of the $715 with a category attached, or 73.8%. It is spread thinly across 12 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.7%. 2025 is the largest year on record at $304, more than ten times the $23 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for optometrist clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $857.

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

$715 in reported general payments places this provider in the 45th percentile of 3,166 optometrist providers in Florida.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$5,123
Medicare patients
39
Services billed
52

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.
