Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 6 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by Gilead at 21.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $225 and has fallen 55.5% since, to $100 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for gastroenterology clinicians in VA, where the typical reported total is $3,407.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Gilead | 1 | $125 |
| E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C. | 1 | $103 |
| Exact Sciences | 1 | $100 |
| AbbVie | 1 | $100 |
| Pfizer | 1 | $94 |
| Sanofi | 1 | $65 |
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
$587 in reported general payments places this provider in the 20th percentile of 473 gastroenterology providers in Virginia.
