Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.7% of the total across 268 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 35 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $1,363 and has fallen 91.5% since, to $115 in 2025.
Across 268 payments — averaging $19.80 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
Too few obstetrics providers in Louisianato place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| PremarinEstrogens, Conjugated | 12 | $6,546 |
| Estradiol | 72 | $2,002 |
| ProgesteroneProgesterone, Micronized | 34 | $506 |
| Norethindrone Acetate | 12 | $192 |
| Fluconazole | 13 | $48 |
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.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| PfizerPremarin | $328 | $6,54612 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. There are too few obstetrics providers in Louisianaon file to place this against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
