Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 95.8% of the total across 22 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Bausch & Lomb Americas Inc. at 28.5% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $313, 3.9 times the $80 reported in 2019.

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

$924 in reported general payments places this provider in the 80th percentile of 184 optometrist providers in Montana.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$21,389
Medicare patients
85
Services billed
245

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.
