Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 186 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Forte Bio-pharma LLC at 35.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $1,307 and has fallen 55.7% since, to $580 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for interventional pain medicine clinicians in SC, where the typical reported total is $3,940.
Across 186 payments — averaging $17.10 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc.Xtampza Er, Nucynta Er, Belbuca | $188 | $266,659327 claims |
| AbbVieUbrelvy, Linzess | $25 | $46,26447 claims |

| Hikma Pharmaceuticals USABuprenorphine, Morphine Sulfate | $14 | $4,66143 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 40th percentile of 38 interventional pain medicine providers in South Carolina.
