Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 10 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 8 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $107 and has fallen 65.7% since, to $37 in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for hospitalist clinicians in IN, where the typical reported total is $135.
Across 10 payments — averaging $15.81 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Gilead | 2 | $33 |
| Boehringer Ingelheim | 2 | $30 |
| ZOLL Services LLC (a/k/a ZOLL Lifecor Corp) | 1 | $19 |
| Pfizer | 1 | $18 |
| Phadia US Inc. | 1 | $16 |
| Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $15 |
| E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C. | 1 | $14 |
| Melinta Therapeutics, LLC | 1 | $14 |
How this compares
$158 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 423 hospitalist providers in Indiana.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Pantoprazole Sodium | 11 | $43 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
