Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (54.3%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 78.1% of it on its own, with 12 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,478, more than ten times the $149 reported in 2021. Among family clinicians in SD with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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

$3,288 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 588 family providers in South Dakota.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$73,007
Medicare patients
448
Services billed
1,207

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.

CompanyPaid to this providerPart D cost of their drugs
AbbVieLinzess$28$21,75924 claims
Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc.Nucynta, Belbuca$19$17,93128 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 90th percentile of 588 family providers in South Dakota.
