Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 95.9% of the total across 84 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 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 21.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 84 payments — averaging $17.42 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Novartis$316
- Eisai Inc.$164
- Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc.$161
- Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.$148
- Amgen$120
- Greenwich Biosciences, Inc.$87
- plus $467 from 13 others
Across 86 payments — averaging $3133.22 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.
- Livanova USA, Inc.$173K
- Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc.$51K
- Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc.$38K
- UCB SA$8K
What the payments were for
- Speaking & faculty fees$473%
- Food & beverage$1,40496%
- Education$131%
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Novartis | 15 | $316 |
| Eisai Inc. | 4 | $164 |
| Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 10 | $161 |
| Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 20 | $148 |
| Amgen | 6 | $120 |
| Greenwich Biosciences, Inc. | 2 | $87 |
| Mallinckrodt Enterprises LLC | 3 | $65 |
| Biogen | 4 | $59 |
| Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. | 4 | $57 |
| AstraZeneca | 3 | $52 |
| Acorda Therapeutics, Inc | 2 | $47 |
| Livanova USA, Inc. | 2 | $39 |
| UCB, Inc. | 1 | $32 |
| Adamas Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 2 | $30 |

| Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $18 |
| GE HealthCare | 1 | $13 |
| Zogenix Inc. | 1 | $13 |
| Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc | 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.
- Fycompa$125
How this compares
$1,464 in reported general payments places this provider in the 55th percentile of 131 neurology providers in Kansas.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| EpidiolexCannabidiol (Cbd) | 123 | $511,204 |
| AptiomEslicarbazepine Acetate | 130 | $203,714 |
| XcopriCenobamate | 127 | $187,084 |
| BriviactBrivaracetam | 112 | $164,057 |

| Topiramate ErTopiramate | 31 | $15,332 |

| Tiagabine Hcl | 14 | $11,993 |
| Felbamate | 32 | $10,385 |
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc.Aptiom | $161 | $203,714130 claims |
| UCB, Inc.Briviact, Nayzilam | $32 | $191,536153 claims |
| Eisai Inc.Fycompa | $164 | $51,11141 claims |
| Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Oxtellar Xr | $148 | $40,79836 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 55th percentile of 131 neurology providers in Kansas.
