Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 18 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 13 manufacturers reported payments, led by ZOLL Services LLC (a/k/a ZOLL Lifecor Corp) at 26.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $207 and has fallen 51.8% since, to $100 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for family medicine clinicians in MO, where the typical reported total is $366.
Across 18 payments — averaging $20.90 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$376 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 2,203 family medicine providers in Missouri.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Oxycodone Hcl | 22 | $211 |
| Doxycycline Hyclate | 17 | $71 |
| Tamsulosin Hcl | 13 | $64 |
| Prednisone | 25 | $61 |
| Amlodipine Besylate | 12 | $23 |
