Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $27,181 of the $43,585 with a category attached, or 62.4%. 51 manufacturers reported payments, led by Novartis at 30.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $12,528 and has fallen 97.2% since, to $350 in 2025. Among hematology clinicians in TX with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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.
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
$43,585 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 97 hematology providers in Texas.
