Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 9 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by Novartis at 20.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $122 and has fallen 72.6% since, to $33 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for nephrology clinicians in CO, where the typical reported total is $627.
Across 9 payments — averaging $22.94 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Novartis | 2 | $41 |
| Merck | 2 | $41 |
| Astellas Pharma US Inc | 2 | $34 |
| Lilly USA, LLC | 1 | $33 |
| Veloxis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $32 |
| Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. | 1 | $25 |
How this compares
$206 in reported general payments places this provider in the 25th percentile of 152 nephrology providers in Colorado.
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.
