Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,391 of the $3,906 with a category attached, or 86.8%. It is spread thinly across 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 14.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,038, 4.7 times the $221 reported in 2021. 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.
Across 192 payments — averaging $20.35 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$3,906 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 1,268 family providers in Iowa.
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.
