Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,376 of the $1,569 with a category attached, or 87.7%. It is spread thinly across 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $689 and has fallen 75.3% since, to $170 in 2025.
Across 79 payments — averaging $19.86 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
Too few gynecologic oncology providers in Kansasto place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
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.
