Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,482 of the $1,807 with a category attached, or 82.0%. It is spread thinly across 17 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $563 and has fallen 56.8% since, to $243 in 2025.
Across 65 payments — averaging $27.80 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Astellas Pharma US Inc | 15 | $364 |
| Medical Device Business Services, Inc. | 2 | $346 |
| Gynesonics, Inc. | 2 | $231 |
| Evofem Biosciences, Inc. | 11 | $206 |
| Pfizer | 5 | $101 |
| Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc. | 4 | $101 |
| Exeltis, USA Inc. | 6 | $97 |

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
$1,807 in reported general payments places this provider in the 75th percentile of 750 obstetrics & gynecology providers in Missouri.
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
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Estradiol | 24 | $1,508 |
| Metronidazole | 22 | $325 |
| Nystatin | 14 | $227 |
| Triamcinolone Acetonide | 42 | $123 |
| Fluconazole | 14 | $28 |
