What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,871 of the $3,749 with a category attached, or 76.6%. Medtronic accounts for 67.0% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,947 and has fallen 88.8% since, to $218 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for pain medicine clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $3,132.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

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
$3,749 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 583 pain medicine providers in Texas.
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.
