What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $354 of the $415 with a category attached, or 85.3%. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 41.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $268 and has fallen 77.7% since, to $60 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for nephrology clinicians in MO, where the typical reported total is $723.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Abbott | 1 | $171 |
| Scpharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $97 |
| Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. | 1 | $61 |
| Outset Medical Inc | 2 | $60 |
| Baxter Healthcare | 1 | $16 |
| Cumberland Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $11 |
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.
- CARDIOMEMS$171
How this compares
$415 in reported general payments places this provider in the 35th percentile of 253 nephrology 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.
