Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.9% of the total across 57 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $585 and has fallen 53.4% since, to $273 in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for urology clinicians in TN, where the typical reported total is $3,324.

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

$1,287 in reported general payments places this provider in the 35th percentile of 276 urology providers in Tennessee.
