Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 45 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Johnson & Johnson at 31.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $458 and has fallen 77.6% since, to $103 in 2021. That places this record below the midpoint for rheumatology clinicians in OK, where the typical reported total is $4,359.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$282,775
Medicare patients
261
Services billed
18,320

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.

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.

CompanyPaid to this providerPart D cost of their drugs
AmgenEnbrel, Otezla$96$261,00939 claims

AbbVieHumira(Cf)$91$130,29019 claims
PfizerXeljanz$19$67,01614 claims
GSKBenlysta$15$42,45618 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 25th percentile of 67 rheumatology providers in Oklahoma.
