Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,350 of the $1,515 with a category attached, or 89.1%. It is spread thinly across 29 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $677 and has fallen 77.3% since, to $154 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for hematology & oncology clinicians in KY, where the typical reported total is $4,619.
Across 61 payments — averaging $24.84 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

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

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

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Pharmacyclics LLC, An Abbvie CompanyImbruvica | $26 | $632,71638 claims |
| Exelixis Inc.Cabometyx | $109 | $415,60316 claims |
| PfizerIbrance, Eliquis | $51 | $396,99453 claims |
| Johnson & JohnsonXarelto | $283 | $6,49012 claims |
| Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.Acyclovir | $27 | $55448 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. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 25th percentile of 143 hematology & oncology providers in Kentucky.
