Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,023 of the $1,536 with a category attached, or 66.6%. Abbott accounts for 60.7% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $815 and has fallen 72.7% since, to $222 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for pain medicine clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $2,085.
Across 41 payments — averaging $37.47 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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Abbott | 21 | $933 |
| Boston Scientific | 3 | $215 |
| AbbVie | 3 | $77 |
| Vertos Medical, Inc. | 2 | $49 |
| Scilex Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $47 |
| Nevro Corp. | 2 | $41 |
| Saluda Medical Americas, Inc. | 1 | $36 |
| Amgen | 1 | $26 |

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
$1,536 in reported general payments places this provider in the 40th percentile of 596 pain medicine providers in Florida.
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.
