Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $21,233 of the $23,959 with a category attached, or 88.6%. Olympus Corporation accounts for 88.9% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $18,342 and has fallen 73.1% since, to $4,937 in 2025. Among colon & rectal surgery clinicians in MO with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 46 payments — averaging $520.86 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$23,959 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 36 colon & rectal surgery providers in Missouri.
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.
