Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 312 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 32 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Among family clinicians in IA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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.

How this compares

$3,920 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 1,268 family providers in Iowa.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$40,866
Medicare patients
125
Services billed
1,160

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.

CompanyPaid to this providerPart D cost of their drugs
Novo NordiskOzempic$371$77,06780 claims
Boehringer IngelheimJardiance$453$31,18428 claims
PfizerEliquis$710$30,62648 claims
Lilly USA, LLCTrulicity, Insulin Lispro$235$16,09831 claims
MerckJanuvia$32$6,91912 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 95th percentile of 1,268 family providers in Iowa.
