Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 41 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 17 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 32.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $357 and has fallen 79.4% since, to $74 in 2025.
Across 41 payments — averaging $24.63 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| AbbVie | 13 | $325 |
| AstraZeneca | 4 | $177 |
| GSK | 1 | $125 |
| Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. | 4 | $85 |
| Lilly USA, LLC | 4 | $56 |
| Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 2 | $32 |
| Boehringer Ingelheim | 2 | $27 |
| Novartis | 2 | $25 |
| Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $23 |
| Hologic Sales And Service, LLC | 1 | $20 |
| Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $20 |
| Exact Sciences | 1 | $19 |
| Novo Nordisk | 1 | $16 |
| Baxter Healthcare | 1 | $16 |
| Merck | 1 | $15 |
| Gilead | 1 | $15 |
| Pfizer | 1 | $13 |
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.
- TRELEGY ELLIPTA$125
- BREZTRI$125
- QULIPTA$125
How this compares
$1,010 in reported general payments places this provider in the 70th percentile of 44 women's health providers in Arkansas.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Novo NordiskOzempic | $16 | $33,90116 claims |
| Lilly USA, LLCMounjaro | $56 | $31,39630 claims |
| GSKTrelegy Ellipta | $125 | $13,26318 claims |
| Boehringer IngelheimJardiance | $27 | $11,38115 claims |
| AstraZenecaSymbicort | $177 | $9,92138 claims |
| MerckJanuvia | $15 | $6,14811 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 70th percentile of 44 women's health providers in Arkansas.
