Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (47.3%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Viiv Healthcare Company accounts for 73.8% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $5,234 and has fallen 97.2% since, to $148 in 2024. Among family clinicians in CA 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 185 payments — averaging $42.71 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.

| Viiv Healthcare Company | 79 | $5,831 |
| Gilead | 49 | $999 |
| Johnson & Johnson(2 entities) | 19 | $304 |

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.
- DOVATO$123

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs
These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| Viiv Healthcare CompanyCabenuva, Dovato, Tivicay | $5,831 | $281,42082 claims |
| GileadBiktarvy | $999 | $215,98757 claims |
| Johnson & JohnsonPrezcobix | $304 | $40,59418 claims |
Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 95th percentile of 10,634 family providers in California.
