Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — other (54.2%), food and beverage and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 15 manufacturers reported payments, led by Surgical Innovation Associates, Inc. at 54.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $19,079 and has fallen 95.2% since, to $914 in 2025. Among plastic surgery clinicians in KY 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.

Who reported the general payments

Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

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

$28,847 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 48 plastic surgery providers in Kentucky.
