Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 94.6% of the total across 493 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 43 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 14.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $3,128, more than ten times the $302 reported in 2021. Among family clinicians in WV with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 493 payments — averaging $19.18 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.
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.
- ULTOMIRIS$100
How this compares
$9,456 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 1,507 family providers in West Virginia.
