Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $5,372 of the $6,849 with a category attached, or 78.4%. 22 manufacturers reported payments, led by UCB, Inc. at 26.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $4,255 and has fallen 76.3% since, to $1,007 in 2025. Among physician assistant clinicians in CA 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.
Across 212 payments — averaging $32.31 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

How this compares
$6,849 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 10,423 physician assistant providers in California.
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

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
