Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $376,157 of the $425,837 with a category attached, or 88.3%. Novartis accounts for 100.0% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $164,831, more than ten times the $20 reported in 2022. Among pediatrics clinicians in KS 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 77 payments — averaging $5530.36 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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Novartis | 75 | $425,685 |
| Servier Pharmaceuticals LLC | 1 | $132 |
| Azurity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $20 |
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
$425,837 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 314 pediatrics providers in Kansas.
