What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $11,790 of the $14,990 with a category attached, or 78.6%. It is spread thinly across 29 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $4,611 and has fallen 59.1% since, to $1,885 in 2025.
Across 215 payments — averaging $69.72 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
$14,990 in reported general payments places this provider in the 75th percentile of 117 vascular surgery providers in Tennessee.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| ClopidogrelClopidogrel Bisulfate | 39 | $465 |
| Oxycodone-AcetaminophenOxycodone Hcl/Acetaminophen | 62 | $377 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
