Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by education: $24,750 of the $27,153 with a category attached, or 91.1%. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 96.3% of it on its own, with 21 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $17,041 and has fallen 99.2% since, to $139 in 2025. Among gynecologic oncology clinicians in IN 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 60 payments — averaging $452.56 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$27,153 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 26 gynecologic oncology providers in Indiana.
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
