Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (58.7%), speaking fees and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. at 40.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $550 and has fallen 65.5% since, to $190 in 2025.

$1,966in general payments, 2019–2025

Across 72 payments — averaging $27.31 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

  • Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc.$800
  • Abbott$248

  • Amgen$148
  • Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC$109

What the payments were for

  • Speaking & faculty fees$80041%
  • Food & beverage$1,15459%

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.

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.

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

Too few endocrinology providers in Arizonato place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$197,465
Medicare patients
470
Services billed
5,490

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
Novo NordiskOzempic, Tresiba$68$500,965398 claims
Lilly USA, LLCTrulicity, Humalog, Insulin Lispro$65$271,652209 claims

Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLCLantus$109$8,19342 claims
PfizerLevoxyl$21$2,20846 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. There are too few endocrinology providers in Arizonaon file to place this against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
