Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (35.6%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Edwards Lifesciences accounts for 94.2% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $14,877, 3.7 times the $3,987 reported in 2021. Among family clinicians in VA 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.
Across 227 payments — averaging $132.11 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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Edwards Lifesciences | 177 | $28,249 |
| Abbott | 32 | $784 |
| Medtronic | 10 | $647 |
| Cvrx, Inc. | 1 | $180 |
| Boston Scientific | 5 | $102 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 2 | $27 |
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
$29,990 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 4,332 family providers in Virginia.
