What this record shows
This record is dominated by education: $219,287 of the $284,358 with a category attached, or 77.1%. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 99.0% of it on its own, with 25 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $106,448 and has fallen 93.4% since, to $7,060 in 2025. Among critical care medicine clinicians in TX 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.

How this compares
$284,358 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 507 critical care medicine providers in Texas.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Boehringer IngelheimOfev, Spiriva Respimat, Stiolto Respimat, Combivent Respimat | $480 | $388,949150 claims |
| GSKTrelegy Ellipta, Breo Ellipta, Nucala, Anoro Ellipta, Arnuity Ellipta | $291 | $379,808466 claims |
| AstraZenecaSymbicort, Airsupra | $189 | $12,68526 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 507 critical care medicine providers in Texas.
