Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $7,454 of the $9,890 with a category attached, or 75.4%. It is spread thinly across 46 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.0% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $3,948, 4.7 times the $831 reported in 2019.
Across 371 payments — averaging $26.66 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Chiesi USA, Inc.$2K
- GSK$2K
- Boehringer Ingelheim$900
- AstraZeneca$572
- Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc.$529
- Grifols USA, LLC$499
- plus $3K from 40 others
Across 77 payments — averaging $16,284 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Sanofi US Services Inc.$832K
- Eisai Inc.$286K
- Chiesi USA, Inc.$51K
- AstraZeneca$27K
- Redhill Biopharma Inc.$24K
- Mannkind Corporation$21K

What the payments were for
- Travel & lodging$2,06121%
- Food & beverage$7,45475%
- Education$3754%
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.
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.
- JARDIANCE$125
How this compares
$9,890 in reported general payments places this provider in the 70th percentile of 365 pulmonary disease providers in Georgia.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| GSKTrelegy Ellipta, Breo Ellipta, Anoro Ellipta | $1,698 | $316,439430 claims |
| AstraZenecaBreztri Aerosphere, Farxiga, Symbicort, Airsupra | $572 | $177,943293 claims |
| Lilly USA, LLCTrulicity, Mounjaro | $20 | $147,011110 claims |
| Boehringer IngelheimJardiance, Spiriva Respimat, Stiolto Respimat, Glyxambi | $900 | $136,972186 claims |
| Novo NordiskOzempic | $23 | $36,42027 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 70th percentile of 365 pulmonary disease providers in Georgia.
