Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 95.7% of the total across 74 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 28 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 9.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. That places this record below the midpoint for nephrology clinicians in DE, where the typical reported total is $2,465.
Across 74 payments — averaging $24.32 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.
How this compares
$1,800 in reported general payments places this provider in the 40th percentile of 49 nephrology providers in Delaware.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Losartan Potassium | 18 | $222 |
| Chlorthalidone | 12 | $136 |
| Amlodipine Besylate | 16 | $111 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
