Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 9 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Amgen accounts for 60.7% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest.
Across 9 payments — averaging $77.08 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Amgen$421
- Novo Nordisk$94
- Johnson & Johnson$86
- UCB, Inc.$39
- Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc.$29
- Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.$24

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Amgen | 3 | $421 |
| Novo Nordisk | 1 | $94 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 2 | $86 |
| UCB, Inc. | 1 | $39 |
| Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. | 1 | $29 |
| Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. | 1 | $24 |
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
$694 in reported general payments places this provider in the 60th percentile of 235 psychiatry providers in Arkansas.
