Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,136 of the $4,456 with a category attached, or 70.4%. It is spread thinly across 36 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 21.4%. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,693, more than ten times the $14 reported in 2019. Among hospitalist clinicians in TN 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 159 payments — averaging $28.02 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Lilly USA, LLCVerzenio | $86 | $217,22115 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 349 hospitalist providers in Tennessee.
