Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (42.9%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 7 manufacturers reported payments, led by Roche Molecular Systems, Inc. at 51.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $13,896 and has fallen 81.8% since, to $2,535 in 2024. Among infectious disease clinicians in LA 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 23 payments — averaging $1070.04 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
$24,611 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 105 infectious disease providers in Louisiana.
