Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.4% of the total across 714 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 57 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 34.4% of the total. Among medical clinicians in CT with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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.

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.

CompanyPaid to this providerPart D cost of their drugs
Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.Vyvanse$114$4,58012 claims
Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLCLevothyroxine Sodium$66$72755 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 95th percentile of 592 medical providers in Connecticut.
