Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 652 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 41 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Among physician assistant clinicians in AL 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 652 payments — averaging $15.59 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Novo NordiskOzempic | $996 | $59,47160 claims |
| PfizerEliquis | $961 | $37,91247 claims |
| Lilly USA, LLCMounjaro | $884 | $35,45930 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 95th percentile of 846 physician assistant providers in Alabama.
