Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $3,430 of the $4,501 with a category attached, or 76.2%. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Pfizer at 54.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $2,602 and has fallen 56.4% since, to $1,135 in 2024. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in IL 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 18 payments — averaging $250.03 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year

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.

- FLUENT FLUID MANAGEMENT SYSTEM$149
- NovaSure$149
- MYOSURE TISSUE REMOVAL DEVICE$149

How this compares
$4,501 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 1,732 obstetrics & gynecology providers in Illinois.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Medroxyprogesterone Acetate | 11 | $62 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
