Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.5% of the total across 222 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 27 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,338 and has fallen 79.6% since, to $273 in 2025.
Across 222 payments — averaging $16.91 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

How this compares
$3,754 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 321 acute care providers in Arkansas.
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.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| PfizerEliquis | $165 | $145,329203 claims |
| NovartisEntresto | $393 | $58,72857 claims |
| Johnson & JohnsonXarelto | $587 | $40,41345 claims |
| Boehringer IngelheimJardiance | $100 | $37,07353 claims |
| AstraZenecaFarxiga, Brilinta | $444 | $17,25534 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 85th percentile of 321 acute care providers in Arkansas.
