Has Mackenzie Shelton received payments from drug or device companies?

Yes. Drug and device makers reported $2,227 in general payments to Mackenzie Shelton across 99 transactions between 2019–2025. Most Open Payments records nationally are meals worth under $20; a reported payment is not evidence of wrongdoing.

Does a payment mean Mackenzie Shelton did something wrong?

No. Federal law requires drug and device makers to report almost every transfer of value to a physician, including a $14 sandwich at a lunch presentation. Consulting fees, research funding and royalties to device inventors are ordinary, legal parts of medicine. This site reports what was disclosed; it makes no allegation.

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
PfizerEliquis	$48	$67,959116 claims
AstraZenecaBrilinta, Farxiga	$257	$60,87781 claims
NovartisEntresto	$305	$17,63231 claims
Boehringer IngelheimJardiance	$33	$11,36721 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 80th percentile of 3,581 physician assistant providers in Georgia.
