Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 2 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Boston Scientific accounts for 74.2% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. That places this record below the midpoint for internal medicine clinicians in NC, where the typical reported total is $163.
Across 2 payments — averaging $61.02 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Boston Scientific$91
- Philips North America LLC$32
Across 181 payments — averaging $5336.74 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.

- Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, Inc.$238K
- Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd.$134K
- Pfizer$126K
- Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc$50K

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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Boston Scientific | 1 | $91 |
| Philips North America LLC | 1 | $32 |
How this compares
$122 in reported general payments places this provider in the 40th percentile of 3,302 internal medicine providers in North Carolina.
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.
