Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 1 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc.. That places this record below the midpoint for internal medicine clinicians in NE, where the typical reported total is $114.
Across 1 payment — averaging $121.76 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc.$122
Across 54 payments — averaging $170,667 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.
- Vertex$3.7M
- Merck$3M
- Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.$1.6M
- Novartis$917K
- AbbVie$1K

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.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $122 |
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.
- XIAFLEX$122
How this compares
$122 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 570 internal medicine providers in Nebraska.
