Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (58.0%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 28 manufacturers reported payments, led by Organon at 31.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $12,955, 5.7 times the $2,255 reported in 2021. Among physician assistant clinicians in NY 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 560 payments — averaging $46.76 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

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.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Ortho Dermatologics, A Division Of Bausch Health US, LLCJublia | $121 | $34,73423 claims |
| Incyte CorporationOpzelura | $477 | $29,78815 claims |
| Dermavant Sciences, Inc.Vtama | $2,821 | $23,20917 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 11,358 physician assistant providers in New York.
