Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,378 of the $2,737 with a category attached, or 86.9%. It is spread thinly across 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $651 and has fallen 71.1% since, to $188 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for dermatology clinicians in AR, where the typical reported total is $3,769.

How this compares
$2,737 in reported general payments places this provider in the 40th percentile of 75 dermatology providers in Arkansas.
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.
