Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 9 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Providence Medical Technology, Inc. accounts for 63.3% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2021 is the largest year on record at $492, 4.0 times the $122 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for neurological surgery clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $3,746.
Across 9 payments — averaging $74.67 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.

|---|---|---|
| Providence Medical Technology, Inc. | 6 | $425 |
| AstraZeneca | 1 | $125 |
| Abbott | 1 | $101 |
| Boston Scientific | 1 | $21 |
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.
- FARXIGA$125
- Axium INS DRG IPG$101
