Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (53.9%), education and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by Med-el Corporation at 46.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $2,832 and has fallen 72.1% since, to $790 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for otology & neurotology clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $5,109.
Across 46 payments — averaging $111.06 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year

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
$5,109 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 25 otology & neurotology providers in Florida.
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
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Ciprofloxacin-DexamethasoneCiprofloxacin Hcl/Dexameth | 29 | $2,295 |
| Ofloxacin | 30 | $1,030 |
| Fluticasone Propionate | 11 | $294 |
