Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.4% of the total across 308 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 14 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,789 and has fallen 52.4% since, to $852 in 2025. Among psychiatry clinicians in MS with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 308 payments — averaging $19.91 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 |
|---|---|---|
| AbbVie | 66 | $1,202 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 44 | $1,007 |
| Alkermes, Inc. | 42 | $810 |
| ITI, Inc. (d/b/a Intra-cellular Therapies, Inc.) | 36 | $561 |
| Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. | 20 | $474 |
| Indivior Inc. | 20 | $431 |
| Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. | 19 | $401 |
| E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C. | 12 | $364 |
| Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 13 | $356 |
| Lundbeck LLC | 12 | $221 |
| Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 11 | $115 |
| Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. | 9 | $113 |
| Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. | 3 | $67 |
| Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. | 1 | $13 |
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.
- INVEGA SUSTENNA$235
- VRAYLAR$108
How this compares
$6,133 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 219 psychiatry providers in Mississippi.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Johnson & JohnsonInvega Sustenna, Invega Trinza | $1,007 | $480,398131 claims |
| Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc.Abilify Maintena, Rexulti | $401 | $142,77467 claims |
| Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.Austedo | $474 | $82,58512 claims |
| Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc.Fanapt | $356 | $44,72515 claims |
| Alkermes, Inc.Aristada | $810 | $36,64912 claims |
| AbbVieVraylar | $1,202 | $18,08614 claims |
| Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.Trintellix | $13 | $11,51016 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 90th percentile of 219 psychiatry providers in Mississippi.
