Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $82,876 of the $110,643 with a category attached, or 74.9%. 26 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 38.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $49,403 and has fallen 81.4% since, to $9,205 in 2025. Among addiction medicine clinicians in AZ 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.

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

$110,643 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 37 addiction medicine providers in Arizona.

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
Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc.Ingrezza$9,218$109,21712 claims
ITI, Inc. (d/b/a Intra-cellular Therapies, Inc.)Caplyta$478$19,04111 claims

Axsome Therapeutics, Inc.Auvelity$68$12,79111 claims
Almatica Pharma LLCSertraline Hcl$62$43745 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 37 addiction medicine providers in Arizona.
