Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $68 of the $83 with a category attached, or 82.0%. Nevro Corp. accounts for 65.4% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $55 and has fallen 72.5% since, to $15 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for neurology clinicians in MT, where the typical reported total is $1,082.
Across 3 payments — averaging $27.80 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Nevro Corp. | 1 | $55 |
| UCB, Inc. | 1 | $15 |
| Bristol Myers Squibb | 1 | $14 |
How this compares
$83 in reported general payments places this provider in the 20th percentile of 48 neurology providers in Montana.
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.
