Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.0% of the total across 806 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 46 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $3,644, 2.8 times the $1,311 reported in 2019.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$2,094,027
Medicare patients
1,678
Services billed
20,229

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.

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
AmgenOtezla$643$107,58823 claims
Incyte CorporationOpzelura$1,122$38,84820 claims
Ortho Dermatologics, A Division Of Bausch Health US, LLCJublia$307$16,83121 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 85th percentile of 1,875 dermatology providers in California.
