Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,012 of the $1,229 with a category attached, or 82.3%. It is spread thinly across 13 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $296, 2.4 times the $125 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in OK, where the typical reported total is $1,081.
Across 49 payments — averaging $25.08 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Intuitive Surgical | 4 | $285 |
| Mayne Pharma Commercial LLC | 17 | $248 |
| AbbVie(2 entities) | 9 | $160 |
| Conmed Corporation | 3 | $152 |
| Bayer | 4 | $80 |
| Shield Therapeutics Inc | 1 | $56 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 1 | $54 |

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
$1,229 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 396 obstetrics & gynecology providers in Oklahoma.
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
