Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $5,390 of the $6,514 with a category attached, or 82.7%. It is spread thinly across 46 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 17.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $1,572 and has fallen 82.0% since, to $283 in 2025.
Across 249 payments — averaging $26.16 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.
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
$6,514 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 3,099 obstetrics & gynecology providers in Texas.
