Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — grants (47.4%), food and beverage and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 25 manufacturers reported payments, led by Bausch & Lomb, A Division Of Bausch Health US, LLC at 28.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $12,003 and has fallen 66.5% since, to $4,020 in 2025. Among optometrist clinicians in MO with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 221 payments — averaging $171.94 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares

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
