Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 17 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 7 manufacturers reported payments, led by Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision, Inc. at 57.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $242 and has fallen 87.9% since, to $29 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in TN, where the typical reported total is $906.
Across 17 payments — averaging $32.83 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision, Inc. | 8 | $321 |
| Biotissue Holdings Inc. | 1 | $74 |
| Sight Sciences, Inc. | 2 | $49 |
| AbbVie | 2 | $37 |
| Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. | 2 | $31 |
| Dompe US, Inc. | 1 | $29 |
| Avanos Medical | 1 | $18 |
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.
- Tecnis IOL$104
How this compares
$558 in reported general payments places this provider in the 40th percentile of 763 obstetrics & gynecology providers in Tennessee.
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.
