Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $15,000 of the $17,205 with a category attached, or 87.2%. Applied Medical Resources Corporation accounts for 93.1% of it on its own, with 24 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $10,277 and has fallen 99.4% since, to $62 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in MN 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 76 payments — averaging $226.38 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
$17,205 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 615 obstetrics & gynecology providers in Minnesota.
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

| Estradiol | 40 | $1,681 |
