Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 44 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. accounts for 63.0% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $249 and has fallen 62.2% since, to $94 in 2025.
Across 44 payments — averaging $17.22 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$758 in reported general payments places this provider in the 60th percentile of 143 gerontology providers in Alabama.
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.
