Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,758 of the $5,473 with a category attached, or 68.7%. 47 manufacturers reported payments, led by Novartis at 30.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $1,583 and has fallen 51.4% since, to $770 in 2025. Among physician assistant clinicians in LA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 212 payments — averaging $25.82 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
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
How this compares
$5,473 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 1,246 physician assistant providers in Louisiana.
