Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.7% of the total across 129 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 23 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 29.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $1,223 and has fallen 79.4% since, to $252 in 2025.
Across 129 payments — averaging $20.21 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.

| Indivior Inc. | 21 | $429 |
| Alkermes, Inc. | 17 | $424 |

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
Too few addiction medicine providers in South Carolinato place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| VivitrolNaltrexone Microspheres | 29 | $48,335 |
| Buprenorphine-NaloxoneBuprenorphine Hcl/Naloxone Hcl | 231 | $32,264 |

| Hydrocodone-AcetaminophenHydrocodone/Acetaminophen | 45 | $1,067 |
| Clonazepam | 83 | $547 |
| Dextroamphetamine-AmphetamineDextroamphetamine/Amphetamine | 15 | $489 |

| Alprazolam | 12 | $124 |
| Trazodone Hcl | 14 | $54 |
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Alkermes, Inc.Vivitrol | $424 | $48,33529 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. There are too few addiction medicine providers in South Carolinaon file to place this against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
