Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (49.7%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Curium US LLC accounts for 67.4% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among nuclear medicine clinicians in MO 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.
Across 16 payments — averaging $955.23 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Curium US LLC$10K
- Telix Pharmaceuticals$2K
- Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.$2K
- Eli Lilly$1K
Across 3 payments — averaging $13,374 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.

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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Curium US LLC | 8 | $10,299 |
| Telix Pharmaceuticals | 5 | $1,987 |
| Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. | 1 | $1,545 |
| Eli Lilly | 2 | $1,454 |
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.
- Detectnet$5,200
- ILLUCCIX$2,893
- Biograph Vision 600 (8 Ring/64 CT)$1,545
How this compares
$15,284 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 21 nuclear 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.
