Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 176 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 34 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $978 and has fallen 67.6% since, to $317 in 2024.
Across 176 payments — averaging $19.28 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.
- NURTEC ODT$105
How this compares
$3,393 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 1,732 obstetrics & gynecology providers in Illinois.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Estradiol | 43 | $1,851 |
| Alendronate Sodium | 11 | $116 |
| Ibandronate Sodium | 12 | $96 |
| Alprazolam | 25 | $64 |
| Medroxyprogesterone Acetate | 15 | $64 |
| Zolpidem Tartrate | 16 | $64 |
| Fluoxetine Hcl | 11 | $0 |
