Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.5% of the total across 11 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by Corcept Therapeutics at 42.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $132, 4.6 times the $29 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for endocrinology, diabetes & metabolism clinicians in OH, where the typical reported total is $1,051.
Across 11 payments — averaging $31.71 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Corcept Therapeutics$148
- Bayer$91
- Novo Nordisk$56
- Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC$29
- Lilly USA, LLC$13
- Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc.$12
Across 7 payments — averaging $4337.35 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.

What the payments were for
- Food & beverage$33696%
- Education$124%
Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.

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.

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.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| Lilly USA, LLCMounjaro, Trulicity | $13 | $91,25372 claims |
| Novo NordiskOzempic, Sogroya | $56 | $80,07456 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 25th percentile of 312 endocrinology, diabetes & metabolism providers in Ohio.
