Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,789 of the $2,033 with a category attached, or 88.0%. It is spread thinly across 10 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 21.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $676 and has fallen 83.7% since, to $110 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for pain medicine clinicians in UT, where the typical reported total is $3,451.
Across 42 payments — averaging $48.40 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
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.

|---|---|---|
| Medtronic(2 entities) | 13 | $434 |
| Abbott | 6 | $428 |
| Organogenesis Inc. | 4 | $329 |
| Relievant Medsystems, Inc. | 8 | $289 |

| Stratus Medical, LLC | 2 | $75 |
| Boston Scientific | 1 | $47 |

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.
- PuraPly$256
- INTELLIS ADAPTIVESTIM$226
- Proclaim IPG$224
- Intracept$151
How this compares
$2,033 in reported general payments places this provider in the 40th percentile of 61 pain medicine providers in Utah.
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.
